DNC 2008

This week, for the first time in my life, I watched the Democratic National Convention, and I'm glad I did. Sure, when you make a convention four days long you're going to have plenty of repeated phrases, slogans, and ideas, but overall, seeing my politicians of choice elaborate on how we can start turning our country around was the kind of kick-in-the-pants that's gotten me really fired up about the potential our country may have coming its way come January. I saw the majority of the big speeches, including those of Ted Kennedy, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, Al Gore, and of course Barack himself, but I missed Hillary and Bill's speeches, which I heard went well too. In particular, Biden, Gore, and Barack's speeches resonated the strongest for me, and now I'm looking forward to this upcoming election season even more than before.
