Last night was the Dems' best night so far. Although an amoral demagogue, Bill Clinton gave a good performance, as he always does. Even John Kerry showed a little promise, though he spent too much time rehashing his 2004 loss, which Kerry continues to insist was everbody's fault but his. Joe Biden's speech was good in the beginning, when he told about the loss of his first wife and his daughter, about riding the train home from Washington, about his relationship with his sons and daughter and especially about his very attractive wife of 36 years, Jill. Following his speech, the appearance of his entire family on the stage was impressive. As a family man, Joe Biden is very impressive. Beau Biden, who introduced Joe, was impressive too.
The remainder of Joe's speech was repetitious political garbage, like most political speeches. It was as if Joe had to say what his minders expected him to say, so he did.
Obama's appearance at the end was disappointing. He wasn't needed. He didn't add anything to last night's show. It seemed as if he felt the need to horn in on Joe's party. The party was over when Obama showed.
