In 08, the primary race was much, much closer. Clinton came out and moved for Obama to be nominated by acclamation. An enthusiastic endorsement is the right thing to do.

Booker was very good. He's a bit of an empty suit--maybe born to be vice president--but it was exactly what the convention needed at that moment.

Franken alone was fine, I guess; the Silverman-Franken bit was absolutely atrocious, though lots of the blame goes to the stage manager. Silverman calling Sanders supporters "ridiculous" almost threw the whole convention into chaos.

Warren doesn't really have it as an orator but the substantive points of her speech were positively vicious.

Michelle Obama was absolutely f---ing fantastic.

"Hillary sucks. Here's a video of her barking like a dog."

"You know, Hillary was a pretty respected Secretary of State, and Trump doesn't know what Hezbollah is."

"She's a s--- candidate. This isn't sexist."

For the record no one is saying you dislike her solely because she's a woman, just that you (and Trump and Sean Hannity et al) treat her differently because she is.

Also, lol @ thinking that video is funny. What are you, ten?

An example of treating women differently might be turning up your nose at a woman's Secretary of State role while defending a candidate who doesn't know what Hamas is.

Btw, it's noticeable how white people like @blair and @21 Squid who won't be affected by Trump's racist policies and rhetoric are the ones who think he's "funny".

To get back on topic, Michelle Obama absolutely stole the show last night. She was phenomenal.

Does it hurt a little to know that my vote (that I could use to go and vote for Trump solely on the basis of it being funny) counts as much as your politically sophisticated one?

You know, Sanders supporters have complained for a year now that he doesn't get enough earned media. But his campaign seemingly doesn't understand how the news cycles work: you have to have a message calendar, you have to update the stump, you have to give the press something new. He hit the same exact points from last fall through last month; it was a flat circle. Now he comes out tonight and rehashes it all over again. Not seizing the moment at all.
