watching the conventions for either party is like watching a busy, long, boring infomercial.
the crowds are enthusiastic in that i-like-whatever-victoria-principal-is-hawking kinda way--except that, as superbelt pointed out above, they are frequently far more tasteless.
the speakers are like petit bourgeois real-estate tycoons lounging on yachts giving viewers different ways to gouge the disadvantaged. take your pick.
i would rather watch clothes dry.
