Corey Booker - http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/po...olitics/2012/09/04/dnc-cory-booker-speech.cnn

And I have to say - the images of the audience look like the corporate meetings I attend. The audience of the RNC did not look like this.

"Blah, blah blah the party platform, yadda, yadda, yadda MSNBC style platitudes . . . and same ol'same ol." Yep it has begun.

One reason that the GOP arena did not look like a beautiful and choreographed human rainbow is that unlike the DNC the RNC didn't say to the people attending, "No we can have only so many white men and women present. Now you Latinos? Yes, you need to scatter throughout this section. We don't give a shit who you came with. Blacks? Now what we want you to do is . . . " So forth and so on.

What else were you going on about? I guess that about covers it.

I can't watch any of it. This guy Corey Booker is a character, He's got a real zeal for his city... but put him in front of the DNC and all you get is another cookie cutter speech on the platform. And what's with all the chanting? Did anyone listen to what he said? Does an incumbent president actually need a platform? He's already there (in the white house), fer cryin' out loud! His admin is his platform.
