Instead of half-watching the convention today, it's been more like quarter-watching. Tim Kaine's speech demonstrated why he wouldn't have been a great pick for the veep slot. Then again, Joe Biden's brief talk tonight and his longer speech the other night weren't that much more exciting. I missed Al Gore and will have to catch him on some website.
Maybe it makes sense as politics but from a "show business" sense, I wish they wouldn't release speeches in advance. As I'm writing this, Keith Olbermann is reading excerpts from Obama's big speech well before the Senator himself takes the stage to deliver it. That's a good way to lessen the drama of the moment.
I'm going out for a walk. The TiVo's recording it all while I'm out, just in case anything memorable happens. I don't expect it but you never know.
