Kirk Watson--A Guy Whose Stock Is Rising

I have to say, Kirk Watson is definitely going places, and I'm sure he is destined for higher office. He has been leading this convention with a vast storehouse of knowledge about the procedures, conducting himself with poise, and acting like herding over 12.000 Democratic wild mustangs is almost the easiest thing in the world.

Sure, he had some rough moments, and displayed a few flashes of impatience, but on the whole, he has really been leading a successful convention. And who wouldn't get impatient leading that many people with so many diverse viewpoints? Many tense situations came up that he was able to defuse with just the right amount of humor. I would guess that his experience as Mayor of Austin gave him a lot of insight on how to deal with people who are not at all happy about what is going on, and dealing with conflicting viewpoints.
