The Democrat National Convention wrapped up with a speech by Barack Obama that was more contentious than anticipated. While many pundits predicted that surrogates and VP nominee Joe Biden would act as the attack dogs and deliver the red meat, the speeches of said surrogates mostly fell flat. Much of the mood of unity in the audience during the early going appeared to be bolstered by the musical performances of famous singers. Barack Obama assumed the role of attack dog, not reaching the lofty heights of his famous keynote speech of four years ago. Overall, I think the climax of the convention occurred on the 3rd night, with the speech of Bill Clinton.

DNC 4th night
August 29, 2008 — buckeyerinoBuckeye RINO
Buckeye=derived from nickname for state of Ohio. RINO=Republican In Name Only.- Liberals think I'm too partisan. Conservatives think I'm not partisan enough. Moderates think my views are too idealistic and not pragmatic enough. Libertarians think I'm too pragmatic and not idealistic enough.
- I am Daniel Jack Williamson, a graduate of The Ohio State University, a native of Ohio, a Republican voter, and a former Republican candidate. My moniker, "Buckeye RINO," is a hat-tip to my fellow conservatives who think I'm not Republican enough.
- I am the Buckeye RINO, and this is my political blog.
