Wednesday night for Democrats

For most of the night, the Democrats' second night couldn't really match the excitement and energy of the first night. But that may have had more with the first night and the and the nearly perfect-pitched speeches. So even though there were very good speeches and some very salient points brought up during the speeches, early Wednesday night didn't have quite the impact of Tuesday night. But if there's a get-em-standing-in-the-aisle-yelling-and-screaming-in-joy showstopper in politics, it's still Bill Clinton, and he reminded us that he still has it. I don't know why the GOP decided that they wanted to, for lack of another term, Poke-the-Bubba, but it may have been the worst political move they could have made. President Clinton gave the Democrats a clinic in how to attack the GOP. Line-by-line, step-by-step, he didn't poke holes in GOP talking points against President Obama, he showed exactly where the holes are and how big they are. And he did it in a way that could be understood by everyday people. But now that President Clinton has shown how to go after the GOP, it's up to President Obama tonight to keep driving the points home and showing the gulf between the Democratic Party and the GOP.
