Actually not having the same old bunch of tired politicians bloviating from the podium (like what the Democrats did last week) appeals to me. And it looks like that hurricane will give President Bush the perfect excuse not to show up without losing face. So perhaps, this coming week can be about the FUTURE and about CHANGE, two themes that were missing from the Democratic convention of last week.
Even though we love President Bush, his name is just poison to American voters right now.
