Kerry looked and acted like a man who knows his days are numbered. He paced up and down nervously, spoke from white cards he had to flip every few minutes, and when every once in a while a discouraging shout was heard in the background, he'd react as if he'd been goosed. He's been busing stooges around for weeks because nobody shows up for his stump speeches. Every few minutes you'd see Edwards in the background as Kerry stomped back and forth. Edwards wore an unnerved look, as if he sensed his hero was coming unglued. Hilarious. And not one word about Vietnam, other than Bush and Cheney were draft dodgers and had no right to be in office and he did.
Darn, I wish I would have seen it. Was this spontaneous? On another thread, someone said they were giving out free tickets everywhere. Not at midnight. This had to be planned.

Hooboy.
Edwards is, to me, a total loss as a running mate. He adds absolutely nothing to the ticket. It's as if Kerry listened to a lecture about why Dan Quayle was a poor choice for veep and then chose his own Dan Quayle. (And let's be real, Quayle contributed to Bush 41 losing re-election.)
I saw Kerry doing the card-flipping thing. All I could htink was how small and cramped he looked there on that stage, after Bush looked so presidential and forceful in NYC. The pacing back and forth was distracting.
Does Kerry really bus people in to his speeches? It seems Bush's are well-attended.
