I like the debates more. I'll watch some of the conventions if I'm home, but it's just a big pep rally for either side anyway. Did they have Michelle Obama on a regular channel and not Bill Clinton? That's wack, if so. He trumps her, like whoa. I don’t really care about the conventions. I like the debates more.

They are doing so much creating of news that it's ridiculous. No one is talking about Obama/Clinton tension except for them - and they can't stop talking about it. Hate all of them.

So disappointed I missed the beginning of Bill Clinton's speech - but I'm going to watch it right now.

And then I remember what country I live in. Politically aware and observant people are not the norm, and maybe they never were. It's no wonder the networks devote almost no time to the conventions. Even PBS has annoyed me a few times by cutting away from speeches I actually wanted to see. Oh well. Thank God for C-Span and YouTube.
