With no cable I am watching the DNC on PBS. I don't care what the MSM

tools are spouting, it doesn't sound like there is a highly vocal anti-Hillary display going on. It seems like the MSM are trying to push the convention conflict story to create more of a nail biting race.

I was listening to npr in the car and they were trying sooo hard to find conflict. There will be some as there should be people are passionate about their candidates. Lets not forget the PUMAs when Hillary lost. I have yet to see anything that indicates it rising to the level of an actual unusual even't after a tight primary. The Pumas were far more contentious than anything I have seen so far in this convention and yet Obama is president.

This is pure theater they have to make the race look close and they will do everything in their power to make it appear so including sowing division inside the Dem party.

There seems to be more thoughtful analysis.

...to allow the commentators to hold forth. I've nothing against the team but I wanted to hear all of Cory Booker's remarks. He was rock-solid.
