The bookies have team blue up by just 3 points going in so it should be a close game.

Just so that I can prepare myself, are we going to get daily updates here or just a single weekend update? In the Republican convention, everyone wanted to watch Trump and here, no one wants to hear Hillary.

And to save you guys from any further embarrassment, I will not comment on this convention till it is over, so Bob and Ice can rejoice.
