[0:51] $60 million plus show emphasizing
[0:54] television imagery and the politics of
[0:56] pleasantry. Much of the money comes from

[1:00] interests. The same will be true of the
[1:02] Democratic convention to follow in Los
[1:04] Angeles, but this is the Republicans
[1:06] opening night featuring a tightly
[1:08] targeted star power speech later by
