Former President Bill Clinton will tell the Democratic National Convention that the economy can be pretty great under a Democrat after all in Charlotte Wednesday night. Republicans suddenly have Clinton nostalgia, too, but they say President Obama hasn't governed anything like Clinton did. In his TV ads for Obama, Clinton says the president's economic policies grow "a strong middle class," and "that's what happened when I was president." But not even the Obama campaign is getting a draft of his remarks until shortly before he goes on stage. It probably won't be a Clint Eastwood-esque surprise. Even so, we'll be liveblogging the night.
Updates:
7:15p.m.: It's not just that these glasses are patriotic, it's that they're heart-shaped and they light up.

7:05p.m.: Olympic champion Gabby Douglas led the crowd in the pledge of allegiance. I am hoping she will make a surprise second appearance later tonight and do an Amanar off the podium.
