DENVER — Turning the personal into the political, Democrats opened their national convention Monday with a series of testimonials to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and a preview of sharp attacks on his Republican opponent, John McCain.

It was a parade of the past and future. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts — in the twilight of his 45-year career — vouched for Obama, who appeared on the national stage just four years ago.

The chief character witness was Obama’s wife, Michelle, who pitched herself and her husband as symbols of the American Dream. “I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president,” she declared. Source Article
