The convention last night has me depressed.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

Why?

Because, frankly, I do not know how the campaign can top it. Every keynoter kicked ass. Every single one. How could anyone top it?

Comparing what we saw last night with the RNC's first night isn't like comparing apples and oranges. It is like comparing peaches and rotting entrails.

1. Bwahahahahaa!!

Like I've predicted, despite some hiccups at the start and hold-outs among the Bernie supporters, this convention is becoming a virtual love-feast compared to that dumpster fire last week in Cleveland.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. A professional, impressive operation vs. a shitty reality show

filled with hacks and has beens.

[liberal N proud]

3. They just keep on kicking ass

Hopefully some or all of the speakers will work from Convention to Election to get Democrats elected up and down the ticket.

[carburyme]

8. I will be expecting alot more today

And I believe we can top last night's! Yes we can!

I just love how they incorporated the music to give life and joy to the event. Love the choices, Well done!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. that 12 year old who sang the anthem

Great potential. I hope he has access to top quality voice instructors, because that natural talent is potentially huge. I mean YUGE.

The rest of the music and singing was the antithesis of Ted Nugent, in quality and in presentation.

18. I love Donna almost as much as I disliked Debs.

Pelosi always does well.

Cecile? GREAT! She is fantastic. I heard her live once, and the audience went wild.

[TwilightZone]

16. Here's the thing: our side is loaded with talent.

Don't be depressed. Be glad that, unlike the GOP, we can put together that kind of night and still have plenty left for the rest of the convention.

Prepare for more of the same. Day one was just the beginning.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

21. It is so much more professional and emotional

AND rational than that mess last week.

[TwilightZone]

23. And positive.

The difference between the conventions is always pretty clear, but this cycle, it's remarkable.

[nolabear]

17. I just saw Joe Biden on the floor doing an impromptu Q&A. He's going to KILL it.

He's as Happy Warrior as they come, utterly supportive of Bernie's people but convinced they'll come on board. I guarantee you nobody will heckle him and not look like utter assholes.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

20. There may be a couple, and that is fine.

This is a democracy.

But Bernie really did a great job last night, as did Sarah and the Senator in toning the boys down.

[NCTraveler]

19. Clinton is a more powerful speaker than people give her credit for.

Don't forget Obama and many other amazing speakers.

Kaine is going to absolutely kill it.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

24. To think I didn't expect them to top last night.

GREAT EVENING, and it has only just begun.

Thank you Bernie, for being a class act.
