What was missing from DNC opening night?
The democratic platform.
On opening night of party conventions I am used to hearing what the platform for the party and the candidate will be. No one seemed to bring that up. They all spoke very highly of John Kerry and Edwards but there was no plan or platform for what they are going to do to help bring America back to its former glory. They talked a lot about what needed to be changed but not about how they plan to change it. Will it come in the days to follow? Perhaps with John Kerry’s speech on Thursday. I think they were trying to go for more of an emotional push on opening night. Kind of like a shotgun versus a riffle. You are going to hit more people with an emotional shotgun than a riffle bullet of facts which tend to go over peoples heads. Just wondering what all of your thoughts are on this and your overall impression of opening night.
