Tonight's speeches kind of suck so far? Hopefully things kick into gear now.

PBS has spent most of the evening interviewing people and not covering the speeches.

This convention has made it pretty clear that the Obama campaign thinks Ohio and Virginia are the two most important swing states.

I thought tonight was supposed to focus on economic issues. What happened?

Is there a plausible Romney win w/o OH and VA?  He would have to win every single other swing state to get to 270 and it seems unlikely that Obama would win VA and OH but lose NH and NV

Romney really can't win without OH and VA. This map has Obama at 274 already:

As if the Republicans have such a great record on the economy?

Nevada is hardly in the bag for Obama, but yes, it would be a Hail Mary pass to for Mittens to pull it out.

Why are we still on social issues here? Is Rick Santorum running the DNC? I'm pretty sure a majority of voters don't care about Sandra Fluke or immigration right now.

Because parties can use social issues to get out voters. We care more about abortion, gay marriage, and legalizing illegal immigrants than we do actually tackling the deficit, debt or the job market.

I care about immigration. Obama's policy on not deporting children of illegals was one of the highest points of his presidency for me. It's a shame he doesn't focus on stuff like that, though I guess it's too controversial.

To the extent that is true, is that not an almost tragic inditement of the American voter?
