Hopefully they can hold on the the current momentum, 2.5 months feels like a long time to keep up enthusiasm.

Biden’s big speech was surprisingly forceful. Overall, a strong first night for the DNC.

Yeah, he was on the attack and drew clear lines between the Dem ticket and the R ticket. Pretty solid speech and a strong open.
Biden could go on the attack, Tim will attack, and that will allow Kamala to focus on Joy.

Yes I have noticed she does not appear in a photo without a smile on her face, to the point where she must have some seriously well-honed facial muscles - deliberate attempt to distance from Hilary who detractors had labelled as a bossy & stern woman perhaps?

Possibly. She's still riding high on the idea of being President of the USA at short notice (although who knows, there may have been contingency plans in place). Plus the crowds love her. It's hard not to respond to that. She's yet to have a person-to-person TV debate with her opponent (but the way Trump is talking at the moment, she must be cautiously optimistic), or face down some 'Free Palestine'* hecklers at an open rally. *Heard some guy on the BBC from the Chicago protests say that unless he didn't hear what he wanted from Harris he was going to vote Trump, because this was the only issue he cared about! The moron!!

Which is hilarious stupidity given the fact that Trump would gleefully help genocide all the Palestinians if Israel promised to let him build a Trump hotel on the ruins. It's times like this I have to wonder about the wisdom of letting everyone vote.

Trump being the one who moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, amongst other things...

They are just trying to use the only leverage they have. It is like a customer saying, "I am never shopping here again!" at the only local Wal-mart Supercenter. In other, local news; yesterday was primary day with a lot of local races on the ballot. In Wyoming, there are two branches of the Republican party; the more moderate Wyoming Caucus and the MAGA-aligned Freedom Caucus. The Freedom Caucus won big yesterday. Since there is no Democratic party in Wyoming, the winners of these Primaries will most likely go onto the Legislature. cowboystatedaily.com/2024/08/21/wyoming-freedom-caucus-has-huge-republican-primary-could-gain-11-seats/A reminder that MAGA still has a powerful hold on rural, land-based voters.

So the rumor is that Trump supporter RFK Jr. is leaving the race, guess they finally gave up on the charade trying to desperately pull away Dem voters.

This convention is hitting hard.
Also, if you haven’t seen the Obamas’ speeches, check them out. Holy shut.

Also, on the second night Kamala appeared in the filled-to-the-rafters DNC auditorium live onscreen from a second filled-to-the-rafters auditorium…the one that hosted the RNC.
Dead cold.
