Mark Halperin

DENVER -- Steven Grossman, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Tuesday morning that the first night of this year's Democratic National Convention went off without a hitch and that he isn't worried about the punditry that says the Democrats should be attacking President Bush and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

Among others, Time political analyst Mark Halperin said Tuesday morning that the Democrats missed an opportunity to attack McCain and tie him to Bush's record Monday night.

Grossman, who is based in Boston, said that isn't needed on the first day.

While many analysts are forecasting his decline, major political reporter, insider and CW-shaper Mark Halperin of Time believes that Mitt Romney will be John McCain's choice for vice president.
