Thoughts on Obama and the Democrat Convention

The media reaction to Barack Obama is embarrassing! Did you know that Time magazine has featured BO on their cover seven times compared to John McCain twice? There is no longer any pretense of fairness and even some Democrat officials are admitting the bias is obvious. Gov. Ed Rendell of PA is widely quoted as saying that some media outlets are openly partisan in their coverage of Obama. No! Really?

Have you seen the pictures of the stage that has been built for Obama's speech tonight? It looks like the Parthenon! Who's idea was that? It is astonishingly over-the-top and only serves to reinforce his image of celebrity. Barack Obama for Rock Star - John McCain for President!

I have enjoyed a "juicy" little exchange over on NRO by three smart and pretty funny guys who are recapping the D convention. They run a video segment called "Red Meat" which they shoot from Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Denver, Colorado. Check it out.

Interestingly, I have had no media calls about my trip to Minneapolis as a delegate... until yesterday. KGMI has set up an interview for Tuesday morning at 6:50AM PST (8:50 Minnesota time). I was told they want to give equal time to the Republican Convention but I've noticed they have interviewed delegates from the D Convention EVERY day. Equal time? hmmmm. I also have an interview today with a reporter from the Bellingham Herald. This should be an interesting day!
