Gotta say that John Kerry, who's speaking right now, is giving a far more pointed and vigorous speech advancing the Obama case on foreign policy and national security than Bill Clinton did. Who would have figured that Kerry -- Kerry! -- would have been so much better than Elvis? And that line of his about McCain's flip-flopping -- "Before John McCain debates Barack Obama, he has to finish the debate with himself" -- was pretty solid. You get the idea that Kerry's still p.o.'d about having his head handed to him by the Republicans four years ago. Well, he should be -- and he's giving 'em hell tonight.
If we had seen that man four years ago this autumn, he'd probably be getting ready to give the speech at his renominating convention right about now.

If the Republicans want to lose 50 states, Alan Keyes would be the man to do it for them.
Damn, the lines are coming good tonight. But this Kerry thing. I voted for Bill Clinton in 92 because he had the brains not to get shot at. I voted for Bush in 2004 because he had the brains not to get shot at. (I was in the hospital having emergency surgery so I did not get to vote for him in 2000 because he had the brains not to get shot at).
And now in 2008 I'm going to vote for someone who was not only stupid enough to get shot at, but managed to cost the taxpayers a perfectly good airplane! Is Obama a really bad choice or not?
"Also, it was a Republican president who appointed our first two African-American Secretaries of State, one of which is also a woman."
And both of them look to be Obama supporters.
Actually, Charles, 5 perfectly good airplanes.
But who's counting?
I agree Pres. Bush is too arrogant. In eight years, Pres. Bush has not measurably improved as public speaker. The only reason is arrogance. Public is such an important part of the job and he has not improved. I don't think it is because he is stupid. He's just arrogant. We're trying to improve our situation and not get more of the same or worse, which brings us to my concern about Sen. Obama (more arrogance).
Why not make him Czar for Women's Affairs?
I agree. I would think a man who has had numerous scandalous affairs would have the experience for that position.
