Its the week of the Democratic convention. I guess everyone in blogosphere is probably blogging about it. I believe quite a few bloggers have been given press credentials this year. Almost every news site has blogs. Blogs rule!
Day one featured Bill Clinton in the starring role. I don't think there is anybody who matches his political skills in this country today. He was simply superb. In contrast Hillary came across as shrill and loud. She has a speaking style that turns me off. I wonder why Democrats greet her like a rock star. She comes across like she is lecturing rather than rallying the troops. She has got to do something about it if she has serious intentions of running for the presidency in '08 or '12.
Day two I think belonged to Barack Obama. He is a little known state senator from Illinois who is running for the U.S. Senate to fill a seat vacated by a retiring Republican Senator. His immigrant story and his centrist speech and the energy and passion with which he delivered it have made him an instant star in the Democratic party in my mind. He is due for big things if he carries on in this vein.
Edwards takes the stage today followed by Kerry tomorrow. Kerry it appears will have to make the speech of his life if he is to leave Boston with a jump in the polls.
