3. Best Democratic conventions since 1960.....I was 6 years old then so I don't remember much

4. While this was the best for a whole host of reasons
my heart still is with the 1960 convention, because it was the first one I was able to watch on TV. It hooked me on politics for all time.

6. All the old ones were better
Before the parties seized too much control and packaging.

I loved roll call votes past midnight and jostled reporters.
