I thought that Zell's speech was going to be directed to the Democrats across the country who feel betrayed by the left wing hijackers. He was going to give them sound reasons and logic and an emotional basis for voting for W. He would appeal to the conservative sides of those who vote Democratic after adding the various interest group messages and reaching a total plus some residual guilt.
He did in fact deliver the message, very plain and clear with sufficient emotional overtones. Several of his statements may have actually drawn blood. Reminisicent of the 1850's, the Senator from Gerogia called out the Senators from Massachuttes. Zell's message was an anguished cry to history to let future generations know that within the mass of Democrats there is at least one who can see the disaster looming if the leftists are allowed to regain control.
I expected the speech to be a permission slip to those who can't quite cut the ties to old Democrat allegiances and vote for a Republican. I expected an alter call.
I now realize the alter call was not a real possibility because all present were actually in the choir. I wonder though just how many Democrat souls in TV land were saved by Zell's speech. I suspect there are many
Dems can be saved. Only 8 short years ago I voted for Clinton. I'm hoping the media bias this season has been so blatant it may wake up more than a few people.
