  • They won't report it because suddenly the right sees any criticism of a her as excessive and part of the left's sexist plot to destroy her rather than reporting the facts. It seems the complaints have worked and the media will back off like the cowards they are.

  • I want my daughter to be strong too. I would hope that she would be able to defend herself without belittling others and their accomplishments. She came across petty and vapid. This was her chance to introduce herself to America and all I know is that she can (sort of) deliver one-liners.

  • What about the different tones of both conventions? The booing, the chanting, the self-satisfied "we are better than you" attitude. Last week I was really touched by the speeches - I was impressed with the story of the Obamas told about themselves.
