An insightful focus group member comment in this post from Steve Benen highlights the lost opportunity of the Democratic convention:
"Right now I'm wondering where the John McCain I really liked in 2000 went, what happened to the moderate? This John McCain has the look of someone who is being manipulated -- probably by Karl Rove."
None of the major speakers - Biden, the Clintons, or Obama - even alluded to this obvious change in McCain. The McCain running for president isn't the same man who won fans across the nation (and across party lines) in 2000.
In any event, the feeding frenzy over the Sarah Palin "vetting" might make this a moot point.
