Kudos to you Randy! We have enjoyed seeing the convention through the eyes of you and Bizgrrl. What a wonderful honor you had. Thank you for sharing it with us.
It looked like a great night
It looked like a great night on TV. I imagine it was even more so being there in person.
Obama gave a outstanding speech. I don't think it is possible to have scripted a better event.
