Why is the DNC controversy receiving more media attention than the RNC shenanigans?

It has to do with Israel.

Exactly.

Just watched Bill Clinton give a rather poorly delivered and awkward speech. I seem to remember him being a better speaker. BTW the Democratic convention is a lot louder than the RNC, in terms of the people cheering.

Most definitely by design, both for this crowd being louder and our dissenting crowd at the tnx being quieter. You can just as easily turn down, turn up, and isolte with the proper equipment. Not even really a challenge to.

Yup, and good timing too. The high holy days of the Jewish faith are also upon us. It's the equivalent of Easter or Christmas for Christians. Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, etc... and they make it quite clear (at least in the synagogue where I work) what America's stance with Israel is. Also the AIPAC representative they truck in every year will no doubt talk about politics for an hour while everyone has been fasting since the day before.

as I recall they had the mics off for most of the crowd except the ones pointed at CA and another state Romney controlled, so you couldn't hear the 'End the Fed' chants being covered up by the "USA! USA" chants, at RNC, which may have had some impact.

Interesting.

They seem to be having more fun with more passion. Less straitjacketed, if you will.

They seem to dress more fashionably than their Republican counterparts.
