Democratic Convention, Night One

Cory Booker gave a good speech, Elizabeth Warren gave a good speech, Bernie Sanders gave probably a stronger endorsement than the Clinton campaign expected, but the star of the night was the current First Lady of the United States. As somebody said, she just kept stepping up to the plate and parking balls in the left field seats.

After all the kerfuffle of the morning with the apparent Russian hack of the DNC’s servers and its subsequent turnover of email info to Wikileaks, who released it at a very inopportune time for the Democrats, the evening’s speakers brought the convention back to its moorings.
