Democrats at the RNC

So I haven’t seen any Democrats yet at the Convention. But they are clearly interested in responding to the Republican Convention in real time as the Repubs did at theirs.

The choice of Palin ended the DNC buzz a few days early and pre-empted the start of the campaign bus tour/ love fest that the Obama/Biden ticket had scheduled.

So what have the Dems. planned to knock McCain off the front pages? Well, aside from the start of the football season (which I would assume would depress ratings for Thursday night), Senator Obama will be heading over to Fox to give an interview with Bill O’Reilly. On Thursday. More or less right before McCain goes on. Now I don’t expect Fox News to gush over Obama, but this should get some run on Thursday. And depending on how it goes, might really cut into the TV coverage of McCain. And let’s face it, since people don’t read anymore, TV is king.
