The speeches were good and Michelle Obama did a great job. She hit all the right notes to show that she's not an "angry black woman." And, that was what she had to do. I do think, however, that the staging is terrible. The speakers look like game show contestants. Not at all what I would expect from a major party. Watch the republicans, in the past they have been much better at staging then us. And, for the party that eschews Hollywood values, they should be the ones with the more austere sets. In any case, lets see what happens tonight. I expect Hillary will bring the house down and surprise everyone with her ringing and genuine endorsement of Obama. So much so, that her army of "robotic yentas" as some call them, will lead the Obama snake dance at the end of the convention.Well, I watched the first night and its was OK.
