1. All of the speakers have been positive and forward looking.

Unlike the GOPers, who were negative, mean and hateful.

You'd think they'd have remembered the words of their hero, Ronald Reagan, who talked about "morning in America." But the GOPers were gloomy and nasty and defensive.

You don't win elections being nasty and dickish.

2. Isn't "forward" the theme of the convention?

I thought I read that somewhere.

3. Oh, I didn't know that. Guess they're on track, then, if we can tell! nt

4. Yea

At a background briefing for reporters Tuesday morning, organizers stressed that “forward” will be the theme when the Democratic National Convention kicked off here Tuesday night, vowing that the tone will offer a sharp contrast to last week’s Republican gathering.
