    Knows Better

    The second day of the Democratic convention, Hannity did a long rant about how disaffected the Clintons were and how flat the convention was.

    He observed, "I've been to lots of conventions before, but I have never been to one that is as flat as this one. There's absolutely no energy here."

    He told us that the polls showed that there was a flat reaction to the convention. "No bounce," he explained. And then it turned out that there was an 8% bounce.
