I'm flying back to California in the company of Wylie Aitken, one of the country's preeminent trial lawyers, and, of course, a leading California Democrat who has been at the GOP convention blogging for the Orange County Register.
For a good look at the convention from the other side's shoes,
take a look at his post on last night: "What the Republicans and McCain were able to effectively do was energize their base. If the OC delegation is any measure to a person they are rolling out to back McCain's speech."
He's right.
