It’s 7 am Tuesday in Denver, and most of first time delegates are blurry-eyed with excitement and lack of sleep. To recap yesterday’s events:
- If you made it into the convention center yesterday (and that’s a big “if” given the logistical complications) you were in for a treat. Delegates were immediately struck by the high-tech wizardry, especially the three level display screen and the red, white and blue lights.
- The speakers were incredible. Ted Kennedy’s appearance was a touching highlight of the night. Regardless how you feel about his politics, Ted Kennedy has been one of the most effective members in the history of the entire Senate. His remarkable appearance last night spoke well of the quality of NC doctors, cause he looked robust and vibrant.
- Michelle Obama was another highlight. I’ve heard her speak before and thus had an idea of how good she is, so I wasn’t surprised when she hit this one out of the park.
- Look-there’s Dan Rather! Oh, look- it’s Ted Koppel!! Everywhere you went in the convention center, the celebs weren’t so much the politicians as the news anchors. Not sure what that says about our culture, but it can’t be good.
Things are getting a little crowded in the business center here, so I’ll log off for know and try to post later today.
