The Democratic convention, which was focus-group-dial-a-metered to death, needed a dose of Dramamine. It was awash in allusions about Cmdr. Kerry steering the ship of state -- from the curved design of the metal and wood-paneled lectern, meant to evoke a ship's bridge; to the Massachusetts senator's arrival in Boston Harbor on the prow of a ferry, making like George Washington crossing the Delaware; to the dramatic Vietnam Swift boat scenes in the biographical film; to Jim Rassmann's iconic story of being saved when Lt. Kerry reached down and pulled him from the water over the bow, to the nominee's hokey salute and "reporting for duty."
