gervase_fenOh dear, just when I thought my insomnia might ease off a bit, I find myself dipping in and out of the streaming coverage of the DNC courtesy of NBC News/msnbc. Edward Kennedy's probable swan song speech has been the highlight so far. Must resist the urge to stay up past 1 a.m, but I have to say that there's something soothing and easy on the eye about the DNC podium.
As I'm writing this I'm listening/watching the roll call - a bit like the Eurovision voting because the results are a foregone conclusion... New Mexico have yielded to Illinois who have yielded to New York, and, goodness me, Hillary herself is going to be announcing the electoral vote! UPDATE- No, she's moving for selection by acclamation!
...which they've just done, with a hilariously microscopic amount of time given to anyone who opposes the motion to shout "No"...
