It was hope or hype depending on your point of view - theater or a world-changing event. Just the possibility of a world changing event.

Can’t you just hear the late, great Don LaFontaine?
“In a world – one with more compassion, respect and understanding – one where people treat each other a little more like equal players in the game of life…
We would be a little less afraid and feel a little more inspired - a little more inspired because we had leaders that acted like they were listening - and doing the best they could for all of us - in the world."
I've uploaded a couple candid pictures from the convention. We bought the hype and got the hope for free.
