Who else could be my last Convention Boyfriend of the Day this week but the man of the hour (and the next 8 years)... Senator Barack Obama, himself! Who else is lucky enough to have a former President and a future President as boyfriends all in the same week? Whew - what a week, I'm spent. It's the seventh day: I'm gonna' rest.
Oh mystery man from the convention, now I know who you are! You're Barack Obama's Brother-In-Law! Not only are you cute and well-connected (and my Convention Boyfriend of the Day) but you're also a college professor.
You showed up early enough to get a ticket on the field in the stadium. CNN put you on TV because you looked so cute when you were dancing. And I made you my Convention Boyfriend of the Day.
Don't worry, Candy Crowley of CNN, you'll never be my Convention Boyfriend of the Day. You're just a vicitim of being in the middle of the screen (and let me apologize for what the freeze-frame caught of you) at the wrong time for you, but the right time for the sexy Secret Service agent to the right of you on the screen. When the convention is over, let's share some more secrets, my Convention Boyfriend of the Day.
You couldn't make it to the convention, but you knew history was being made so you got yourself down to Times Square to watch Obama's speech on the big screen with other Americans who knew something important was going on.
And then when you realized you were on camera, and you knew you were going to be my Convention Boyfriend of the Day you gave me a wave:
In the midst of Steven Spielberg's special documentary film produced just for the Democratic National Convention to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, one face leapt from the screen: Stay safe, and come home safely with all your fellow Marines, because you're my Convention Boyfriend of the day.
Though sometimes I wish someone could. Nobody does it quite the way you do. Did you have to be so good? A President who is smart, charming, visionary... it's time to remember what that's like, starting with my Convention Boyfriend of the Day, Bill Clinton.
You're beside yourself when you see Biden and Barack on stage at the same time for the first time... but why can't you be beside me, my Convention Boyfriend of The Day?
Who are you? I'm not sure of your name, but you're my Convention Boyfriend of the Day. You're not mine in real life, but Tivo can transform the fleeting moments that we might once have spent together and allow them to stretch into many slow-motion views of you applauding while pursing your lips.
