Notice the unconventionalness of the decisions made by each of the candidates... partly I believe to shore up some of their perceived weaknesses as well as to energize their ticket. Obama, relatively inexperienced in National politics and running as an anti-establishment "change" candidate picks a 65 year old Washington insider who is the epitome of the Democratic establishment. John McCain, the experienced one running for President, counters by picking a very young, first-year, relatively unknown Governor for his running mate. Interesting.
On the technology side, I am enjoying the video tributes that both of the parties are using in their conventions. The multimedia flair is adding a little to the polish of the conventions.
