I'm not an Olympics junkie (used to be but not so much anymore) but I AM a political junkie and I'm truly enjoying this time - conventions! I've been working each evening during this convention but have been able to see the "big" speeches (at least so far) and I must admit I've enjoyed them! And I'll watch the next convention too - for how better to understand your opponent!!
It was an interesting (to say the least) primary season (although I totally refused to watch ANY of the seemingly thousands of debates!) and I'm convinced this one of the most interesting election years I've seen in a long time - and I was around (in elementary school!) when JFK won the squeaker against Dick Nixon.
I do miss the time when the conventions were simply broadcast without a lot of commentary - I can understand the spoken word and really don't need all that "extra" help understanding what's said - SIGH. (Actually there was commentary but Walter Cronkite was younger then!! And the coverage was gavel to gavel - much of it boring but it was the only thing on TV so watch it I did and I learned!)

ROTFL! I just can't get into watching the convention. The convention is the same to me that the Olympics are to you....
And that is what makes us all individuals! I say rock on Diane -I too have enjoyed the conventions but have to admit, I couldn't stay awake for Hillary's speech. She didn't start until 10:30 pm and we all know that's past my bed time considering what time I get each day! I did get to see Ted Kennedy and (since I have Friday off) plan to stay up and watch it all tomorrow night. How cool to see part of history in the making.
