After a lackluster start to the Democratic Convention on Monday, things picked up on Tuesday thanks to four big speeches, three of which weren't even broadcast on MSNBC, Faux News, PBS.

Congressman Dennis Kucinch and Governor Kathleen Sebelius used the podium to light a fire under the Democratic's asses. They motived voters, slammed McCain and Bush and got people excited.

During prime time, Virginia Senator-to-be Mark Warner delivered an extremely lackluster keynote address, but the crowd was brought back to life by the relatively unknown Montana Governor Bill Schwietzer, who did an amazing job of recharging the room and paving the way for the night's headliner. Schwietzer should have been the keynote.

Sadly, the only netowrk to carry Kucinich, Sebelius and Schwietzer was CNN. Every other network that was covering the conventions instead had panels pondering how much Hillary will undercut Obama.

To her credit, Hillary Clinton gave an excellent headlining speech that made me wonder if she should have been Obama's VP. She did an excellent job and right on message.

While a few speakers spent time bashing McCain and the Republican agenda, I am very discouraged that not every person on the stage is using this gigantic soapbox to pound the message that McCain is another four years of Bush and that the Republicans are responsible for our economic woes, high gas prices, the Iraq War nightmare, outing a CIA agent, illegal wiretaps, spying on U.S. citizens, cutting education budgets, rolling back clean air programs, against stem cell research, against science, against choice and for torture.

Where is that anger? Where is that agenda that does resonate with a large marjority of Americans?
