Republican Convention Day 1
Big night for the Republicans. Both Rudy and Senator McCain gave strong speeches that were full of red meat on national defense, but absent was an endorsement of the domestic agenda of the President. It doesn't matter though because this convention is clearly focused on the leadership of President Bush after September 11th and they made a very strong case in their speeches last night.
There is one thing that I kept thinking to myself as I listened to the Senator, former Mayor, and 9/11 widows praise the President's job in the war on terror... The people who attacked us, Osama Bin Ladan and Al Queda, are still out there.
I have never cussed at the television so much and will continue to do so. It is out of frustration that this over the top patriotic, 9/11 invoking, these colors don't run, proud to be an American, Democrats... You're with us or your with the terrorists, I love my country and I love my president, Churchill - Reagan - Bush in the same sentence, a vote for Kerry is a vote for the terrorists convention is going to work. Since the first night wasn't on the networks, it is up to the press to serve as the filter and I have never wished for a liberal media as much as I do now. After day one, I think Bush will get a real bounce in the polls. Maybe I'm over reacting, but last night was very frustrating.
Also, I'm so sick of the Kerry campaign encouraging pictures of Kerry doing x-games sports like windsurfing to get out. He doesn't look very presidential and it provides fodder for competing websites that I cannot compete with.

You all dodged a huge bullet by those speechs not being on tv last night...... very lucky. arnold cant live up to that standard.
agreed.....funny comment on the "x games sports"
I heard on CNN today that there may be a change at the top of the Kerry Campaign. Supposedly they are bringing in Joe Lockhart to assume the responsibilities of Mary Beth Cahill. I'd support it because while Bush is talking about 9/11, Kerry is Windsurfing. Not a good contrast.
