Denver: Day 1 - My Michelle



It was a day of Michelle mania, bitter Clinton supporters, an emotional call-to-arms from the Senate's venerable Dem, Caroline's great bone structure, and brain drilling?

Sounds exciting, right? Well, one of the party's most prominent insiders doesn't see a "message." Ouch. Wait. Is the bald-headed one correct? Possibly. When you barely have a lead, shouldn't you have a clearer message? The giant projection screen behind the stage should have three bullet points that reflect what Dems want to do. Show those bullet points over and over again. Have the speakers incorporate those bullet points into their speeches. Yeah, it's a cheap soundbite, and it looks like something that Republicans would do, but, you want to win, right? Rocky Mountain...sigh.

My Michelle had the spotlight on Monday night. According to WSJ, she had an appetite for "reintroduction." Like her? Thank Oprah.

Hillary's on deck for Tuesday night.

In preparation for Biden's Wednesday night speech, Reason's David Weigel explains what to love and loathe about Delaware's talky pol.

WVPC will be back with coverage of day two.
