I'm pretty much ignoring the nominating speeches, which will end in about another fifteen minutes as I type this. They're pretty much boring and repetitive- and far, FAR too long at sixteen minutes per candidate. With eight candidates, that's over TWO HOURS...

EDIT: Bob Barr wins narrowly on the sixth ballot. Over the course of the weekend, he's apologized for USA-PATRIOT Act, for prosecuting marijuana users, and for authoring the Defense of Marriage Act- the last he did during his own nomination speech before the first ballot. I have to wonder how many Presidential campaigns have the unofficial motto, "Mea culpa."
