Like the past several nights, tonight the speakers are a bit all over the place, with respect to topics. But if I had to pick one constituency that this first hour is aimed at, I’d say white women suburban voters. I know we are critical of reporting that assumes demographic groups are monolithic constituencies — because they aren’t! But that doesn’t mean you don’t plan your convention around them.
