Jim McDermott is talking about a 1935 tax law. Most of us have had > 6 hours sleep. It's not exactly a barn burning speech.
Luckily, Amy Klobuchar was here earlier and was awesome. Her 13-year-old is so excited about this election, she sent a letter from camp: "I found bugs in my bunk. No ticks yet. How is Barack doing?"
She made similar points, but with humor. Along these lines, there's a real old guard and new school thing going on at this convention. You can tell some of the veteran Democrats are a little freaked out. But this is the bottom-up, grassroots-driven work that Obama is the engine for. It's happening at the DNC, and the change even in the Democratic party is visible at this convention

Jen - I am so inspired! Saw you on TV AGAIN last night. I'm having a party tomorrow night - complete with Obamarama cocktails - to watch Obama's speech. Read all about it: http://sonjaskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/08/obama-rama.html
"... old guard and new school thing going on at this convention.... change...is visible at this convention"
Why, it's almost enough to give even a curmudgeon hope.
