(32,133 posts)Without a doubt, the best produced convention I have ever watched. And it helps when everyone is on the same page. I'll be interested in the numbers tonight. Should be a significant boost for Kamala's speech tonight.

Well that was then, although one might note that his party definitely has gotten its act together these days!

Fort Worth hosts numerous equestrian events and we have a giant rodeo in January. This facility is well used!!!

(13,480 posts)Changing from Biden to Harris required a major reworking of speakers, entertainers, and focus, and Harris and her team demonstrated competence, adherence to detail, and creativity in pulling off a nearly perfect convention. With those skills, imagine what she and her team will do when shes president!

(8,893 posts)It was about 10 times as exciting as it needed to be to get my vote, but wow! What can we do with this energy? WIN!

(26,314 posts)They could have set up a camera at wall of the convention center with the intention of treating us to four days of watching the paint dry, forgot to have taken the lens cap off, and when it was pointed out to indignantly say "use your fucking imagination" and had me crawling over broken glass so my minimum ask was possibly exceeded by many orders of magnitude!
Lulu KC
(8,893 posts)I am laughing.
I wrote my post in haste--my vote's a done deal even if everyone had called in sick for the convention. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote it. Drunk on excitement, I guess. What a party.

(29,346 posts)It was fucking amazing, I thought. Like I was having flashbacks to (I think it was) 2008, as I was huddled in my pantry in the midst of a tornado warning, listening to the buildup to Obama's acceptance speech. This was a great speech and a great night, and we've got a GREAT candidate for the fight that lies before us.

(17,520 posts)And the other 2 were good
Okay maybe 4 hours awesome, 6 hours were great, 8 were very good and 2 were good.
What was awesome? Michele Obamas speech. Kamalas speech. The crowd. The roll call turned into a dance party., Barack, as always. Young children teaching the crowd how to say Comma - La.
What was great? Watching brave Republicans showing up and speaking out Olivia Troye, Adam Kinzinger, Geoff Duncan, John GIles, Stephanie Grisham.
Raphael Warnock.
The fearless bravery of those who told their stories: the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin; the women who suffered from abortion bans; the Central Park 5
The APPLAUSE the long applause for the deserving Elizabeth Warren, the Obamas, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton.
The UP-AND-COMERS - too numerous to mention.
The speeches of our huge A-team of eloquent, competent, and apparently earnest elected officials. Our A-team is HUUUGE.
The unity and respect for each other which was evident everywhere at that convention.

(34,294 posts)I'm more of sporadic watcher. All the speakers were great! Cohesive! (Sometimes we have a few downer speakers, with downer stories or a few boring speakers.) Not this time! It was fast paced and very good. Great entertainment! (Conventions should be entertaining) Upbeat!
Awesome! And we were so worried, it was gonna be like 1968! Maybe they were and that's why the put on such a great convention. Hope all of our conventions in the future are like this!

(12,217 posts)I honestly thought that replacing President Biden at this point in the proceedings was going to be a deep hole that Dems were going to have a big, big slog to get out of. It's been a revelation and a joy to see.

(6,680 posts)Couldn't believe how great it was! Was not expecting that!
And the speakers--every one I saw was excellent. Even a small-town sheriff from MI, I think--he was fantastic! How did they find so many people who not only had a powerful message worth hearing, but were such great speakers???
