Being in the middle but leaning towards Kerry (strongly), I dunno if this changed my opinion at all...

Most of the convention was about 9/11 it seemed (it's what sticks in my mind anyway about it as a general impression). Which is a bit disturbing I think. They promised not to use 9/11 for political purposes, but maybe this isn't considered a political purpose, maybe just the real definition of his presidency.

I really came away from this convention thinking that we're staying the course on every single issue thats come up. So I think if you were for Bush before the convention, you'll be for him after. And if you were for Kerry before the convention, you'll be with him after.

The democrats mostly used Carter to "bash" Bush, if you can call it that. Whereas the republicans seemed to use just about every main speaker to bash Kerry. Thats consistent, so no sway one way or the other.

I did think it was odd how the president lead off with comments about 9/11, then promised that we were looking forward to the future and not to the past ;)

No change for me from this, but the debates are on the horizon
