Observation?

Second rate medicine show. The tent is packed, we are being entertained by dancing girls and story tellers, hoping that the show will be good enough to excite the media, and at the end Alibama will rise on the platform, his magic carpet wrapped around him, and everyone will wait expectantly to see if he can ride the carpet up, up, up and away, out of the hall and through the next few weeks ........- or go kerplunk.

No, the Republican convention will be no better.
