I don't know who was in charge of scheduling this convention, but they chose to separate Biden's speech from Obama's with a Dick Durbin interlude.  Wanting to distance Obama from Biden is totally understandable, but using Durbin to do so?  Go figure.

Join us tonight on the Member Feed beginning at 9:30 PM Eastern for a live chat covering the DNC Dick Durbin sandwich.

I have a Hair Club for Men monthly support group meeting tonight that may preclude my involvement.

Durbin's from Chicago, isn't he? I think it's a "family" thing.

Mr. Durbin has always been one of the most determined spokespeople for the "Republicans hate minorities, women, gays and Muslims" page of the Democrat playbook, so that may be his role. But he is just so ham-fisted and inarticulate when he does it.

Maybe to stir up the base, they are using a concept from construction:

"Never force anything - just get a bigger hammer"

At the end of Biden's speech, he should announce he is leaving the Obama white house and then in strolls his replacement in order to help provide a spark and save their failing re-election.
