Hillary was absolutely masterful, Bill was damned good, Biden was good
and will get much better as he adapts to his new speechwriters.



I am surprised you are not upset about Biden showing off his
grandchildren.

Why? It's traditional and appropriate at that moment- the end of the
speech at a convention - for the candidate's family to appear on stage.
Besides, Biden, especially, has a compelling family story, as I am sure
you know.



So...you're a Republican...what's your guess on the veep nom?


Wrong, ballot-breath. I am a registered nothing, consider myself an
Independent, although certainly admit to right leaning tendencies on most
issues. In some areas though, I am probably as liberal as you. gasp

I have a bit of a hang-up about the concept of being a "registered" member
of any political party. Doing so tends to make one accept and, by default,
support platform issues that one otherwise may not be in agreement with.
Lemmings. We saw that during the Dem's convention. Compromises of
principles by all for the "common good" of the party. Past differences
forgotten. Nope, not for me.

I vote for the person who I think will best serve the best interests of the
USA in national and international issues, not for the one who will best
forward a political party's agenda, developed through political compromise
and back room deals.
