<div><strong>1.</strong> Nate Silver is showing a significant bump  for the Democrat&#8217;s after the DNC, much higher than the RNC&#8217;s bump.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Via<a href="http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/"> NYT&#8217;s fivethirtyeight</a>:</div>

<div>Barack Obama</div>

<div>+10.4 since Aug. 31</div>

<div><strong>2.</strong> The DNC also tied <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/07/honey-boo-boo-ratings-bill-clinton-dnc-speech_n_1864145.html">for ratings with &#8220;Honey Boo Boo Child&#8221;</a> while the RNC was below the ratings for their week.</div>
<div></div>

<div><strong>3.</strong> Buzzfeed posts <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/obamas-message-breaks-through-in-swing-state-news">a list of newspaper headlines in Swing States</a>, showing positive reaction to Barack&#8217;s speech.</div>

</div>
<div></div>
<div>Personally, I thought Jennifer Granholm&#8217;s speech was the best. She was one of the more rousing and animated speakers of the night.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8211;</div>
<div><strong>5.</strong> Factcheck.org had to <a href="http://factcheck.org/2012/09/factchecking-obama-and-biden/">aggregate their analysis </a>of Obama&#8217;s and Biden&#8217;s speeches, because apparently they each didn&#8217;t have enough exaggerations and out-of-context quotes to warrant posts of their own. (Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney each had their own posts from the RNC previously on factcheck.org)</div>
<div>&#8211;</div>

<div><strong>6.</strong> As promised, song for Friday. This is seriously the best Gangnam Style mash-up I&#8217;ve seen yet:</div>
