I think it is important to get the last word in, which is why I like that our convention comes last. I don't even know if it is feasible, but the last thing I would want is for the GOP convention to be delayed, in whole or in part, until after the Dem convention. Feel free to explain why I'm an idiot for worrying about this. In fact, I would appreciate it.
