This is one speech you need to watch if you weren't watching C-Span and missed it. The majors cut away to the talking heads again! Do yourself a favor and watch it if you missed it though.
Wow. If that guy had run for president four years ago we would be living in a different world today.
Unfortunately, as is now commonly known, John Kerry was abducted by space aliens in the early summer of 2004 and replaced with a doppelganger that was predisposed to being namby-pamby about criticizing George W. Bush. Especially at things like conventions. The aliens, on the payroll of Halliburton, did not return him until sometime in 2005.
Thank goodness this John Kerry spoke last night. That was one of the best speeches of the entire convention and, thanks to the major networks, a lot of people didn't get to see it.
At least the attacking has started. It was conspicuously lacking four years ago, as I alluded to. But Kerry made a very compelling case against both George W. Bush and John McCain. The democrats now have to keep going on this.
The reason that 9/11 was mention 456,784 (or so) times at the 2004 Republican National Convention was so that, when the cameras were on someone, the 9/11 message would be heard.
The Democrats would have done well to have a tag line that got repeated over and over throughout the convention. "Do you want four more years of the same?" isn't resonating with me. On the other hand, I am the choir, not the target audience. Hopefully it works.
Stay on the attack! (And watch out for those damn space aliens!)
