6:47 PM PT: Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Mitt Romney's successor, takes the stage. "In Massachusetts we know Mitt Romney," he begins. "When he left office [we] were 47th in the nation in job creation."

6:47 PM PT: "As governor, he was a lot more interested in having the job than doing the job."


6:54 PM PT: Patrick, listing President Obama's accomplishments, mentions something that gets far too little attention: This is the President who, in three and one half years, has created more private sector jobs than in George W. Bush created in eight.

6:56 PM PT: You have to admit #DemCon2012 is starting strong. Can they keep it up for three days?
