There was genuine interest in the Conventions last time around because both of Palin on the GOP ticket and Obama on the Dem ticket destroying the glass ceiling. That kind of interest isn’t here this time.
I do begin to think the way conventions are shown to the American People is probably overblown. The only two speeches that really merit coverage are from the the four people on the two tickets and those speeches could be condensed into one night.

Good points. Agree as well that these scripted halftime shows are overrated in significance.
