Democrat Convention 2008: Day One: The Clinton rift proves telling







This evening's first evening of the Democrat convention saw Tributes to former President Carter and Senator Kennedy acting as a warm-up for Barack Obama's wife Michelle and a brief satellite input from the great man.

It proves telling that Bill Clinton's successful Presidency cannot be leveraged due to the destructive campaign between Hilary and Barack Obama.

The Democrat campaign team require some swift 'adjustments' after Michelle Obama's somewhat wooden performance. Her speech was not quite tailored enough for her and seemed to read like a laundry list of statements aimed at proving how normal they were.

So in summary, on day one the Republicans central theme is that Obama lacks substance and experience for the commander-in-chief role to which the Democrat response has been to wheel out one-term President (though wonderful humanitarian) Jimmy Carter from 3 decades ago.

Not the most auspicious of starts.
