I am impressed immensely by the mulitple aspects of history that Obama or whomever set up the convention has paid attention to. (MLK's speech being on the same date being the most prevelant in my mind at the moment.) Overall I find that refreshing because since the beginning of high school I wondered if politicians actually bothered to learn history and learn from it's mistakes and successes. Seems like someone did.
I found it very intriguing that tonights "festivities", shall I say, were so festive and almost like people were there for a party. I saw a very upbeat enviroment. (I wonder what the RCon will be like so I can compare the two.)
There were two events that were probably the most effective of the entire night. 1. the normal average people coming up and talking and 2. Obama's video and beginning of his speech (they seemed to flow into one another). After the beginning I think he lost me for a bit then would get me back when he talked about the average person. I really am seeing an image of Obama that is a normal person. Which seems to be what he wants to portray along with the idea that he is for the average person. This he is accomplishing very well.
Again tonight I am very surprised how much I like this pair (Obama and Biden) going for the presidency. The ideas that are being articulated follow many of my own. The one thing that is sticking in my mind the most is how he brought up abortion and said its ok to have different opinions on if it should be done or not, but why help stop unwanted pregancies from happening so the abortions aren't needed? The following series of comments after the abortion one also caught my attention. They made sense!
If nothing else, I believe Obama is portraying his ideas and himself very effectively.
