The  Republican and Democratic National Conventions are now history. The  parties have done their best to get the faithful excited and motivated  to go back home and get out the vote on November 6. From this point on,  what has already been a tumultuous campaign season will only get more  intense and more testy.

Now  let's look back for a few moments on this past week. Let's take a look  back through the eyes of 3 iReporters who were at the convention  representing CNN's iReport community.

To  help us all have a perspective of the conventions from a layperson's  perspective and not just professional journalists and talking heads, CNN's iReport community had a contest to send 3 lucky iReporters to Tampa, Florida for the RNC and 3 lucky iReporters to Charlotte for the DNC.

Those iReporters selected were:

The RNC - Alex Anderson, Matt Sky, and Elizabeth Lauten aka ajjanderson, liereport and dcgopgirl respectively

The DNC - Omekongo Dibinga, Melissa Fazli, and Willie Harris aka omekongo, MelissaF, and Wharris613 respectively

Last week we looked back at the iReporters at the RNC: RNC Down, DNC Up Next.

This week we turn to the DNC.

So how did it go for the intrepid iReporters at the DNC?

Did the iReporters serve the community well?

You be the judge.

Here is what the 3 DNC iReporters provided back to the community from the convention:

Those who have visited or followed the reports what was clear is that  the most prolific of the 3 DNC iReporters was Omekongo. Omekongo  definitely was at ease in getting his interviews and doing his reports  for sure. But, prolific and quantity doesn't always mean the best in  quality, not that Omekongo suffers in that department at all.

It  was some of Willie's reports in video quality and production which went  above and beyond what one would normally see in iReports from an  amateur, lay journalist. Willie's last report, "Taking it to the Streets", had a look and feel that rivals many of the "professionals'" video interviews.

Melissa was having the time of her life which was very evident and offered up a lot to digest as well.

All 3 of the DNC reporters were clearly in their element this past week  in covering members of the "choir". But  that didn't mean that the  reports didn't provide balance, in my opinion, with some of their  uploaded reports.

Omekongo  definitely captured the other side of the coin doing no less than 7  reports bringing protestors and a former RNC chairman to the forefront.  He was not alone. Both Melissa and Willie reported on the protesters and  opposing viewpoints from those in, at or around the DNC as well.

Melissa informed me that there were some WiFi issues at the hotel and  server issues at CNN that made some of the reporting and uploads  difficult to do in a more timely manner. This explains why some of the  reports came a couple of days late and some still to come. She also  noted similar issues had been experienced the previous week by the RNC  iReporters.

But how do you believe these iReporters represented the community?

Were we treated with insightful, objective reports?

From the Cornfield, my hat is off to all 6 iReporters who were and are  willing to put it out there for others to see, comment and critique.

To Alex, Matt, Elizabeth, Omekongo, Melissa and Willie thanks for providing us an inside view of the RNC and DNC.
