W&W: The Other Convention: How Will Republicans Show Up Barackstar's PoliticoPalooza?

Yes, Obama is everywhere, and we know the Democratic National Convention is going to be huge. But what about that other convention with, you know, the Republicans? That party that has run the country for the last eight years? With such a lack of enthusiasm about the Republican Convention, what does John McCain need to accomplish in Minneapolis?

Conservative blogger Elizabeth "Media Lizzy" Blackney stops by to share her thoughts on the RNC and what role our dear Mr. President must serve to ensure a Republican victory: Bush has got to show up and he's got to do something very specific to make things right. Media Lizzy also addresses the double standard (is it?) of the reporting on the John Edwards affair and the idea of Obama announcing his VP choice new media-style - via text message and e-mail.
