Two national political conventions are upcoming: the Republican National Convention in Tampa (8.27 to 8.30) and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte (9.4 to 9.6).
I’ll be watching and recording both. The broadcast networks won’t have much live coverage (they didn’t have much in 2008, either), but C-SPAN will have a great deal, live throughout the days and evenings of both gatherings.
C-SPAN also has RNC and DNC pages with coverage schedules, etc. (They also covered the Libertarian National Convention in May.)
Here’s the poll:
I will watch both. It won’t always be pleasant, but I will still watch.
Just the speeches from Obama Romney and for WI Ryan
Sometimes inspirational; mostly comical. The Political Circus Maximus.
Repubs and Dems need piles of money all they way up to the podium to have conventions on this scale.
They could save on theatrics to spend more on outreach.
