Finally it is here. The months of preparation, and the agony. Day One of Denver's DNC opened. Kevin and I have just finished watching the highlights on TiVo. Senator Edward Kennedy gave a magnificant speech. For a guy teetering on his death bed he gave a riveting speech - better than Senator John McCain on a good day! There wasn't a dry eye in the house (including Kevin and I.)

I was waiting to see how Michelle Obama would handle her speech. I remember the disaster of Theresa Heinz Kerry's speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention - what a disaster! Michelle's speech was pitch perfect - a nice balance of her life, but lots of why she wanted Barack to be the next President. Michelle included a tribute to Hilary which I thought was very classy. Then it finished with a nice touch of having a live feed to Barack in Kansas City.

Tomorrow Hilary is due to give her speech. Can't wait.
