Is it me, or are there more women and minorities being shown in the DNC...

So much for Republicans trying to look diverse, lol

(obtuse cultural reference)

That is because the Democratic Party looks like America. Of course, we all already know that.

We have to bring that message to everybody so that all Rmoney/Lyan will have left is the few teabaggers living in their parents' basements.

at the DNC than there were on stage during the entire RNC.

And I've seen lots of minority faces in the crowd, much more than the RNC.
