10:00 PM: Rudy Giuliani's turn, complete with a NY sunset in the background. "This is the most important election of our lifetime, and we'd better get it right." Just before he took the stage, the cameras focused on Bristol and Trig Palin - they didn't ask for this attention, and I feel for them.
Rudy compares electing a president to hiring someone for a job. "Who am I going to hire?" he asks. Then he begins a rundown of each "resume" - the third time in 24 hours that we've heard about McCain's service and suffering. McCain is a hero for his service, no doubt. Now Obama's experience: an Ivy League education (that's a bad thing?), work as a "community organizer" (and lawyer, and college professor - but he doesn't mention that).
MSNBC and others keep harping on whether or not each speaker is bringing the "red meat." Can we retire that term already?
And, like last week's "surprise" appearance by Obama after Biden's speech, we now know McCain is in the building, ready to take the stage following Palin's debut.
"Barack Obama has never lead anything - nothing, nada!" And Rudy says Obama is the "least experienced candidate" in at least 100 years. Sort of like, um, I don't know. . . Abraham Lincoln?
