The convention in 2008 was fantastic as far as its logistics and production...even with McCain being the final act (most watched convention speech in history - higher than Obama’s) and the ticket was riding very high after that convention - even our standing in congressional races was dramatically improved...all of that fizzled out with the outbreak of the financial crisis.
Which is exactly why the Democrat leadership waited until after the conventions to pull the plug on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
You realize they were in a position to control the timing...???
