Although the Democratic and Republican National Conventions had many things in common'most notably, a focus on President Obama'there were also a few subtle differences.
For instance:
- Unlike the delegates at the RNC, the delegates at the DNC represented the diversity of America.
- Unlike some RNC attendees, all of the DNC attendees were willing participants.
And, as far as the speakers/speeches:
- Unlike Ann Romney, First Lady Michelle Obama didn't need to profess her love for women to get their attention.
- Unlike RNC keynoter Chris Christie, DNC keynoter Julian Castro didn't wait until the end of his speech to mention the nominee.
- Unlike Republicans, Democrats were proud to give their most recent past president'who is wildly popular'a speaking slot.
- Unlike the speech given by Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, Vice President Joe Biden's speech wasn't composed of lies.
- Unlike the speech given by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, President Obama's speech created a buzz.
- Unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama thought it was important to mention the troops.
Also, too:
- Unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama got a positive bounce out of his convention.
- Unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama wasn't overshadowed by an old man yelling at an empty chair.
Other than all that, the conventions were pretty much identical.
Literally.
