The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I rarely watch any of the conventions or speeches. But I ended up watching Obama's entire speech tonight.

Sealed the victory, which he was already on his way toward. Nothing substantively mind blowing in the speech, but "rousing" is the word I'd use.

I just can't see at this point the conservatives having enough enthusiasm to bring people out to vote for Romney. As evidence, I've only seen one Romney bumper sticker in OC, compared to the absolute blanket coverage of McCain stickers 4 years ago.

Then you caught my boyfriend* Dick Durban introducing Pres. Obama!

*Durbin gave a stump speech for Russ Feingold here a couple of years ago. The "crowd" wasn't more than 20 people. Durbin locked eyes with me the entire time. Hubbo kept elbowing me in the ribs but I didn't move.

Durbin and I had a moment, people.
