I find it terribly difficult to discuss real issues with someone that name calls, you're showing your true colors and maturity level.
Personally, I think Mrs.Obama knocked it out of the park! She is a class act, smart and beautiful!
And where did I mention Mrs. Obama? I referred to the FORMER Speaker of the House and the DNC Chairperson's off shore accounts and investments and the hypocrisy of Dems who criticize Mitt's Swiss bank account.

You are exactly right,she nailed it. Lots of low class people on the right so expect nasty attacks on her from the limbaugh lead crowd.
Did anyone else notice how approx. 1/3 of the DNC audience consisted of morbidly obese black women?
That's because to demonstrable contrary of what the Dems on the board have been touting, the Democratic Party does not represent a true cross section of America.

I guess you closed your eyes when the camera panned to the audience.
I know, they must be as dumb as those Republicans for picking a city that sits in hurricane country during the peak of hurricane season. Yeah, I am sure you were just as critical of the Republicans over this one.

The R's have a much smaller convention--around 40-45K, so it wasn't quite as difficult for them.
As far as being well organized--if you look at what happened from a purely strategic standpoint, and take your personal opinions and politics out of it, they did exactly what they needed to do last night, and they did it well. The speakers, especially the up and comers, were able to highlight their own accomplishments and show off their talents, but they tied it into the bigger, common narrative about the democratic party and reelecting the president. They kept the message positive and at the same time contrasted their positions and experiences starkly with their opponents. Michelle Obama did a perfect job of contrasting her husband and his values against those of the opposition, and she did it in an uplifting, positive way. If she would have delivered the same speech in an angry way it would have fallen apart.
Disorganized? From a strategic standpoint it was right on the money.
