Stars, has-beens, and curiosities

By my count, of the five non-candidate featured convention speakers, the Republicans produced four stars (McCain, Rudy, Arnold, and the First Lady) and one curiosity with star qualities (Zell). Plus they produced a president and vice president.
As I recall, the Democrats produced one rising star (Obama), two has-beens (Carter and Gore), one star/has been (Clinton), one fallen star/has-been/curiosity (Dean), and two curiosities (Kerry’s wife and Reagan’s son). Plus they produced two Senators.
