Thoughts on Obama nomination acceptance speech (in progress)

Well, he filled Invesco stadium. Megyn Kelly from Fox News reports that there are virtually no empty seats in the house.

His first sentence involved his acceptance of the nomination. His second included thanks to Hillary Clinton, who appears not to be there. I knew her husband wasn't planning to attend; why not? Is this party unity?

How many times are we going to hear that Joe Biden rides the Amtrak home to Delaware every night? This and the fact that he was born in Scranton, PA are going to get pounded into our heads for the next 10 weeks.

Now the laundry list of all that is bad....credit card debt, cars we can't drive because we can't afford the gas, we're defaulting on our mortgages, and most of it is Bush's fault. How will you fix it, Senator?

Oh, now we get the John Edwards line about veterans sleeping on the streets, which has been WAY overblown.....
