Waiting for my H to go to bed. Sometimes I really think we should buy a second tv. I did catch a bit of Tammy Duckworth's speech and a tiny but of the guy after her who seemed to be doing a Dem Party platform overview.

I've been watching on C-SPAN because I'm tired of the constant CNN commentary. Turned it on just in time to see Mayor Rybak's speech. Woo hoo!

I really thought Sebelius was an odd choice for speaker. I still can't look at her and not think of the emergency contraception ruling.

They formally passed the changes to the party platform including endorsements of several important LGBT issues (marriage, ENDA, repeal of DOMA), so I am placated for now. Too little too late? Yup. I'll take it, though. It's better than nothing.

I am kind of jazzed for some of the speakers, though.

I'm not sure about the RNC, but what I've seen is standard for the DNC. At the 2004 DNC I was at the convention hotel all day every day and got into the convention the last night. Outside the convention hall (and moreso inside) you would see people all dressed up.

Because they are showing every speaker versus just who they deem worthy with commentary in the middle
