Second and Third Convention Thoughts of the Evening

So, the choreography of the abridgement of the roll call, ending with Hillary moving to nominate Obama by acclimation, was very nicely done.

Sadly…why did they have to go and spoil the festivities with Chuck Schumer’s call for assistance in getting the Dems to 60 votes in the Senate?

The threat of either party having too much power is what drives folks like me to vote in support of divided government.  I think Obama’s interesting…but the thought of no one being able to act as a check on Congressional Dems is just as disturbing as the Bush/GOP virtual monopoly on federal power was.
