No, but Republicans are glad it seems that way. I remember when insiders lamented that party conventions had become nothing but a week long party followed by a "coronation". I can't imagine many things that would be more fun than being a delegate at a contentious convention. I'll probably vote for McCain, but am jealous of my Democratic friends who actually get to "convene" and politic at their convention. Steve,

I bet we see these same two candidates slugging it out four years from now to see who gets to take on Pres. McCain.

What was the message: the youth like Obama, or the youth are easily bored by his long speeches? I would have thought that the ground team would have had ample time to vet the backdrop. Then again, he is courting that demographic. Maybe they were hoping the the giant F in Fitch would be subliminally mistaken for a different letter.

Is Larry David Obama's answer to Chuck Norris?
