By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

DENVER – Former Gov. Parris Glendening (D) says Democratic speakers at the convention didn’t hit presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain as hard as they should have.

“Personally I would have like to seen even harder,” he told PolitickerMD.com.

He added, however, that Monday’s speakers weren’t the right people to be taking the shots. Instead, he pointed to Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and former president Bill Clinton as the best figures to throw the punches.
