I loved little Carina stealing the spotlight too, and her parents took it in stride. Here is an article on Castro's speech and his daughter's reaction: http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/09/carina_victoria_shantay_you_stay_video.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Michelle's speech hit all the right notes. I like that the emphasis this year is on working people and unity of different groups--my memories of the last couple of conventions are that they were primarily about just opposing Bush and his agenda. Now it seems like they can talk about what a people powered movement can achieve. And I'm really liking that there are so many women speaking. I can't wait to see Elizabeth Warren too!
