The best convention coverage here at the Prospect and elsewhere:
- No, really. The Democrats just nominated a black man to be President of the United States. Like many others, I can't help but be proud.
- According to Dana Goldstein, Josh Marshall, and Ezra Klein, John Kerry was on fire last night. More to come, I'm sure. The nets apparently didn't carry it, because we really needed to hear more "pundits" talking.
- Spackerman live-blogged Biden last night. Ezra also has some thoughts.
- Is Karl Rove trying to prevent the plaid hiked-up golf pants ticket from being a reality?
- Mark Schmitt says the Democrats have a unity of purpose he's never seen before.
- Bubba was in rare form. Even Andrew Sullivan agrees.
- AT&T and the Blue Dog Democrats prevented Glenn Greenwald, Amy Goodman, and Jane Hamsher from entering a party the company was throwing for those Democrats that protected it from prosecution after it broke the law on behalf of the Bush administration.
- The continuing hostility toward Lilly Ledbetter is not helping the whole "Come to Hillary" feminist moment in the conservative ranks seem very sincere. Not that it was very convincing before.
- Cheryl Contee appreciated Hillary's speech on Tuesday.
- Someone should tell Tom Brokaw that John McCain, Former POWtm can handle a little criticism. I'd suggest Brokaw quit the news business and just join the McCain campaign, but there's a line.
- Republicans angry about Obama's decorative choices for his speech tonight weren't outraged when George W. Bush held imperial court back in 2004.
