The DNC (Kennedy, Michelle, and where the hell is John McCain!?)

The DNC got its kick off last night and I have to say...It was actually pretty exciting. The two main speakers for the night were Ted Kennedy, followed by Michelle Obama.

Kennedy's speech, which followed his deserved tribute video, focused on essentialy why Obama was the correct choice for president. And even though Kennedy has been struggling with brain cancer his speech was still emotional and powerful.

Soon after Kennedy had concluded, Michelle Obama took the stage. I was nearly at the edge of my seat with anticipation of what she would say. See, Michelle Obama has been criticized throughout the campaign for being more of a drag than a help on Barack's campaign because of some of the less than popular, and some would argue, less the patriotic things she has said. Fortunately, I was wrong...Michelle's speech seemed nearly flawless; it was well spoken and very emotional. I am excited to see how the political right will talk of this speech.

On the other side of the spectrum...WHERE THE HELL IS JOHN MCCAIN!?!

The last thing I heard on McCain was that he was being insulted by Madonna, and then his campaign released an ad, again playing off of Obama's "celebrity status".
