Prime Time Coverage

Well it's finally underway! The love fest that is the Democrat National Convention began last night. Mercifully the networks limited their coverage to one hour last night. I have no doubt that we will get wall-to-wall overexposure as the week wears on. Fortunately most of it is happening after my bedtime so I am not seeing much of it.

Predictably it was an homage to the liberal institution of the Kennedy family and their 21st century wannabes the Obama's. Ted Kennedy, brain tumor and all, wouldn't miss this curtain call if they had to roll him in on a gurney! I caught an excerpt of his speech this morning and he looks bad. Then again he has looked bad for years.

The media is trying to put some drama in the DNC with all the talk about the roll call vote. That is just wishful thinking. They know that there is no hope for any fireworks next week with the Republicans. McCain and the Beach Boys are going to have a hard time keeping awake.

One other observation. Wasn't it odd that McCain had his Biden ads on TV so quickly after the announcement of his choice for VP? Maybe he has a mole in the Obama campaign. hmmmm....

Hey cool...you have a blog! Crazy.

I didn't watch any of the coverage last night. At this point I want to see debates, not cheerleading, but I'll have to wait on that.

Per the Biden ad, they probably had prefab ads ready to go. I'd love to have seen some of the negative Jindal ads they had on the drawing board.
