There has never been a political event like this.

On every level, it was so far beyond anything we have seen before. The brilliance of the speeches. The intelligence behind the presentations. The perfect stagecraft. All tied in with and expressing the essence of a pivotal moment in history.

I have been vocal in my admiration of the new Democratic "machine," but this goes so far beyond what even I was expecting.

The Democrats have finally tapped into the smarts of the "creative class" and exploded with a brilliance...oh, I'm beyond words.

The 21st century is finally here, and I think it's going to amaze us all.

5. Thanks to a DUer who gave me the link,

I watched the whole thing online just as though I were there: No commercials, no talking heads, just the real thing.

I am so grateful that DU let me see and hear for myself. What a difference from earlier conventions that I watched on TV.

6. That's what I thought but couldn't articulate at this point. This was

the best convention I have seen in my lifetime. Indeed it was a great political event.
