First Night at the Dems Convention

Tonight was the first night of the democratic convention with key speeches by Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Michelle Obama, Jesse Jackson (Jr.) and Caroline Kennedy, among many more. Nancy Pelosi had the only speech of the night that dealt in depth with the issue of McCain's poor policy choices. The video can be viewed here. Michelle Obama gave a speech about Barack's character and Ted Kennedy gave a fire-up speech. The speeches were ok, but save Nancy's speech they lacked the bite that they will need in the coming days to shoot a hole in McCain's boat. More coverage from the convention as it unfolds.
