On that note:
I hated when "Isn't She Lovely" started playing and the kids came out. LOL. Then the "hi daddy" and stuff from the kids just seemed so staged. We get the point, geesh....
"Look how cute the kids are...ohhhhhh...he'll be a persistent President because he jokingly says he kept asking Michelle out eventhough she kept saying 'no'...she changed her mind and that's change we can believe in."  |
I bet if lil Sasha had said "Daddy, mommy say you betta get to Denver or we going shopping again" dude would not have brushed her off.
Nominating conventions are crafted for the broad, unengaged middle. People, who to this point, have not focused on the detail of either campaign. For many it's the first introduction to Obama and his family. For those who are engaged, it probably will appear, at times,.....boring.
Personally, I didn't think Michelle's speech was all that either, but it was effective, I think, in debunking the initial image her husband's opponents have tried to create for her.
One of my colleagues has worked for years (although not this year) as a lead guy at RNC stage committee (making sure everything/everyone you see at the podium happens as they want it to happen.) Trust me, this is stagecraft writ large for both parties.
