It is going to be a disaster. The Democratic convention was forward looking, positive, hopeful, and constructive. For all the talks of disunity, this party is unified and ready for battle. Contrast that with what we can expect to see next week.</p> <p>First, we know for a fact that the <span class="caps">GOP</span>, unlike the Democrats, will not be able to control themselves. They will launch attack after attack at Obama, and try to destroy him. It will fail, and they will get savaged in the media, who were all present at the <span class="caps">DNC</span>. The best thing about the babble all through the Democratic convention is that they will feel duty bound to do the same during the <span class="caps">RNC</span>, and they will be shocked and taken aback by the viciousness of the <span class="caps">GOP</span>. Bank on it. Either the gild will come off the McCain maverick/respectful lily, or we will have to realize that McCain wants to be President but can not even control his own convention. I will take either narrative for 1000, Alex.</p></blockquote><p></p><p>I'm glad someone else agrees with me. All this hand wringing about the Democratic Convention will look absolutely silly when we see the shit show that is the Republican Party. Think they'll be loving on the Vice Presidential nominee? Think they'll have interesting speakers? Think they'll look like anything else but thugs?

And the Republican attacks don't depend on the reality. Still, as I wrote today, his advisors have long known, big speeches can cut both ways. That's why, at one point on the campaign, they were banished to the evenings, so that he would appear in the evening news in more intimate settings.</blockquote>That's why you do it <span style="font-weight: bold;">BIG</span> and embrace it.
