The irony of working on this stuff, is that well, you’re working, so I haven’t really been keeping up on the festivities. I started streaming stuff tonight, and while there’s been a lot of good stuff (the nomination itself was particularly nice), a lot of it seems to be lacking a bit of the fire. Dennis Kucinich brings it, big time (even with a great zinger edited out):

(Hearing good things about tonight’s schedule. Hopefully I’ll catch up on that before tomorrow night…)

UPDATING w/ vid and comments…

Bill Clinton – starts a little slow, but is totally solid. A strong and cogent argument. Best line: People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

John Kerry – wow, this is great. The Senator McCain v. Candidate McCain frame is great.

So who can we trust to keep America safe? The McCain-Bush Republicans have been wrong again and again and again. And they know they will lose on the issues. So, the candidate who once promised a “contest of ideas” now has nothing left but personal attacks. How insulting to suggest that those who question the mission, question the troops. How pathetic to suggest that those who question a failed policy doubt America itself. How desperate to tell the son of a single mother who chose community service over money and privilege that he doesn’t put America first.

Joe Biden – the right mix of tying together the personal stories in with the economic and foreign policy.

The quality of tonight’s keynoters were far higher than from the previous nights. You can really see the themes that they’re crystallizing around – I think they form a pretty compelling argument that I hope resonates. Can’t wait to see Obama tie it all together tomorrow.

Turning, in, will be a long day tmw.
