Another week, another convention plagued by weather woes. Another prime-time address by an iconic American figure who, hours before his speech, hadn't yet submitted a finished draft to organizers for suggestions and edits.
Unlike Clint Eastwood,
President Bill Clinton has had plenty of practice on this sort of stage.
Tonight will be his seventh speech in as many conventions.
Still, over the past few
months, he's provided the Obama campaign with some accidental
aggravations, displaying a unsettling tendency to drift off-message and
derail narratives. He's used language that seemed to put some daylight
between his and Obama's positions on tax cuts while the spotlight was on
the president's policy, and he praised Mitt Romney's business record
while it served as a central line of attack.
