PHILADELPHIA -- Democratic National Convention headliner John Kerry plans to make his grand entrance into Boston late this morning by water taxi.
The convention is steeped in the image of Mr. Kerry's service in Vietnam, and the pending nominee's arrival will fit the theme.
Mr. Kerry, who commanded a Navy swift boat in the Vietnam War, will travel across Boston's harbor to Charlestown Navy Yard with several of his former crewmates, and then hold a rally.
The Charlestown Navy Yard closed in 1974, but part of it has become a national park. It is home of the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned ship afloat in the world.
Carville says none dare criticize Kerry
BOSTON -- Democrats are so set on unity this year that Democrats in Congress know better than to say anything that sounds like a criticism of Sen. John Kerry, lest they face a primary challenge next time.
"The big news is, no Democratic politician dare say anything, because they will get primaried," James Carville, political strategist and one of the masterminds behind Bill Clinton's 1992 election, said yesterday.
"I've never seen things like this," he said. "I was talking to a group of Democratic congressman, and if you're in the Congress, you're a Democrat and you say something mildly critical, you'll get primaried next time."
Speaking to reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor here yesterday, Mr. Carville said a victory for Mr. Kerry is about as certain as something can be in politics.
"I think if Bush wins this race, it would be the greatest political achievement of my lifetime. I'll say it right now," he said. "If they do it, it will be one brilliant campaign."

All symbolism, and no substance. That sums up this whole facade called the DNC Convention.
It will never work. Without my expertise, Kerry is (how you say?) le doomed!
Is he going for a fourth Purple Heart? I hear it's easy to get a scratch or two in the Boston Harbor :-)
I think it's perfectly normal for "FLIPPER" to arrive by sea!! :)
Excellent!
If the water is rough and that boat... ugh.. lets pray nothing bad happens. We don't Hillary as a replacement.

OMG, that's great!!

Talk about a one trick pony. The travesty being that what he did when he returned from Nam should alone disqualify him from public service, much less be the reason why he should be elected to the land's highest office. The irony of this action is beyond the pale.
If Bush so much as wears a lapel pin in the shape of the flag these hypocrits will claim he is "using" the memory of 9-11.
Believe me, it's not going to happen.
As much as she would love to seize power via some undemocratic method, I don't think that her reach extends this far.
We're stuck with Kerry and Edwards.
Let's make sure they stay in the U.S. Senate.

I still hope it doesn't sink or capsize, they'll blame Bush
He ain't using my boat.

Wonder if the "water taxi" is actually going to be a vintage swift boat? That is the only logic I can see in the great water-borne entrance...hmmmmm...possibly playing Wagner...
