    Why dont democrats go second for a change?

    It surprised me that after the 2004 Debacle that dems would let repubs go 2nd in conventions. Thats twice in a row (if not more) that they have gotten to rebut the DNC convention rather than the other way around. I think it would do a lot for limiting the attacks if they went first. I don't know how it works but whoever plans the next one should try to go 2nd.
