In TV terms, Martin O'Malley's Convention Speech Comes Up Short

Words of Maryland governor pitched to big hall, not the small screen


Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, one of the most prominent Democrats in the country, was a given a dream slot Tuesday night at the party's national convention, speaking from 9:55 to 10:05 p.m. when prime-time viewing was likely to be near its peak.


I cannot tell you how his speech played in the convention hall in Charlotte; you'll have to read the accounts of the Sun reporters on the scene for that. But I will tell you this: It was not a very good TV speech, and I suspect it played poorly in many living rooms around the country.

This convention is like a gift that keeps on giving to the GOP. Today's 3 day Rasmussen tracking poll shows another bump for Romney who now has a 3 point lead. This is unprecedented. Historically during conventions that nominee has always gotten the bump.
