real democrat: I have to agree about the speech. Whether or not you like Senate President Don Williams, his RELL MUST GO! speech was the only one that really seemed to engage the delegates.
It is unfortunate that there weren't more speeches like his. As I walked around after all the Gubernatorial nominating speeches, I asked delegates what they thought of the different speeches. Most delegates seemed to pay little attention to the sppeches, with the exception of Williams' RELL MUST GO! speech.
The reason why the Dems convention wasn't able to have all of the big fanfare and balloons and stuff is because of the Expo Center. It wasn't their original choice for the convention.
They originally intended on having it at the Convention Center, but then labor problems got in the way and they didnt want to get in the middle, so at the last minute they moved it to the Expo Center.
The problem was, that there was another convention scheduled to start at 4:00 on Saturday afternoon. They were told by the Expo Center people that they could have the convention there as long as they don't have any of the fanfare beacuse they need to clean up and pack immediately so that this other convention could begin to set up.

I wish we had more speeches like that.
