...showing off their women and children, the Democrats sought to one-up the Republicans at every opportunity. In San Diego the Republicans had more than 40 women speakers. By Wednesday evening the Democrats had almost 50. The Democrats' yuppieish keynote speaker, Evan Bayh, trumped yuppieish Republican keynoter Susan Molinari's newborn with his twins.
