Tonight there was a great lineup of high powered speakers. We had John Kerry, former President Clinton, Joe Biden, Madeleine Albright, Tom Daschle and several others. I will leave the analysis of their speeches to others, but would say that the crowd was definitely fired up tonight, despite the chronic lack of sleep that just about everyone is suffering from.
At some point during the evening, a DNCC staff person whispered to me "he's here." I asked who, and he said that Barack was going to make a surprise appearance. I didn't believe him, but he said - "you watch, you are going to start to see secret service very soon," and he was right. When Barack walked out on stage the crowd cheered and screemed at the surprise and anticipation of the big night tomorrow.
The final night of the convention will be at Investco Field, rather than the Pepsi center, and everyone is getting ready to get there very early to make sure we don't miss a thing. Rumor has it that Bruce Springstein will play, but other than that and the actual acceptance speech, most of us do not know what the agenda will be for the evening...
