I watched 2 days of the RNC last week in Tampa,
and watched 2 days of the DNC which ended last night.

It was like watching a triple A baseball game,
then going to watch a New York Yankee game.

Not even comparable.
**
I was invited to attend a New York Giants football game on Wednesday
against the Dallas Cowboys.
I grudgingly accepted.
Being from Philadelphia and a die hard Eagles fan, and a true rival of all New York teams
the tailgate party that broke out, staring sausage, corn, raviolli , Champagne
and a variety of other goodies,
was unbelievable.

Mingling in the parking lot
taking pictures of other tailgaters,
I was surprised at how nice the Giant fans were.
I did walk around in disguise
wearing my newly bought Giants hat.
It was a great atmosphere, minus the fisticuffs
that often are part of rowdy Philadelphia tailgaters. 
If I wore my Eagles hat
things might have been different.

Have a good weekend.

Good comparison... football and politics. We're in the middle of a tough political season. The convention in Charlotte was like a very, very good tail gate party.

sounds like you grudgingly and with surprise enjoyed yourself. The Democrat Convention was amazing!
