It is remarkable how the Democrats almost seem like they have a coherent theme this year. Joe Biden gave a great acceptance speech:
I liked how he attacked in this speech. Some haven't liked the common theme amongst some of the senators speaking that refer to John McCain as their "friend." I am quite sure it is true of all of those who used it. Joe Biden used his 'close friendship' better than any of them as he contrasted his radically different view of the problems and solutions for the country with John McCain. I thought that was great.
I am hoping that the attacking trend continues. They almost seem as if they have a rising crescendo of attacking McCain which will hopefully culminate with Barack Obama's acceptance speech. If that was the strategy, I hope it works. If there is a drop off, I will be very disappointed.
Joe Biden may be the designated attack dog but Barack Obama needs to do some attacking tonight himself.
Great speech. Loved the family at the end. The grand kids are cute.
I have mixed feelings about the special guest appearance. I suppose it had to be done, otherwise he would never have made an appearance in the facility in which the bulk of the convention was held. Still, it was Joe's night to shine. He took a tiny bit away from Joe by stopping by.
Can't wait for tonight!
Comments welcome,
