Hey Dog .. are you listenting to Dom G and all the callers calling in and ripping Edwards apart??? hehehe
after Kedwards gets done being so strong on the war, watch Nader's poll numbers shoot up.
I had not heard that. Zell is a speaker. Is Ed?
Based on Brit and panel on FoxNews, it sounds as if Kerry's speech is going to be 'typical Kerry'----long, dull, boring, uninspiring, yawn-fest, empty rhetoric, probably with a bunch of 'I have a plan' comments (no details, no specifics, of course).
Fred Barnes wonders when Kerry became such a war hawk after decades of being a liberal dove on all things related to war.
Mara Liason seems to be the only one who brought kneepads.
Even Mort Kondracke doesn't appear to except much from the speech.
I lived in Mexico and S. America for a short time.
It's yawnsville so far. At this rate, I'm gonna have to start a pot of coffee just to stay awake for Kerry's SCINTILLATINGY ENERGETIC speech. In fact I think Hubby's already asleep.
group of 100 "Radical Queers" forming.....marching after the Veterans against Kerry group.
How is this all sitting with the base up there? They hate the war!
So I heard. Have to check the speaker lineup on the GOP site.
I actually heard John Wayne speaking there for a moment!!!
"group of 100 "Radical Queers" forming.....marching after the Veterans against Kerry group."
That sounds like a not so good combination.
HA! From the Kerry Spot at NRO.

VANILLA MASHED POTATOES ON WHITE BREAD [07/29 06:01 PM]
The campaign has released about ten paragraphs of Kerry’s speech. Here’s the first two:
“This is the most important election of our lifetime. The stakes are high. We are a nation at war — a global war on terror against an enemy unlike any we have ever known before. And here at home, wages are falling, health care costs are rising, and our great middle class is shrinking. People are working weekends, they’re working two jobs, three jobs, and they’re still not getting ahead.”
“We can do better and we will. We’re the optimists. For us, this is a country of the future. We‘re the can-do people. And let‘s not forget what we did in the 1990s. We balanced the budget. We paid down the debt. We created 23 million new jobs. We lifted millions out of poverty and we lifted the standard of living for the middle class. We just need to believe in ourselves — and we can do it again.”
Maybe the rest is great, maybe my standards for the nominee’s convention speech are way too high. But my first impression is that most of these points have been said before at the convention, and they have been said more effectively.
These excerpts aren’t just vanilla. They’re vanilla mashed potatoes on white bread.
Cordially, John / Billybob

I think I had a glass of wine Monday night, but despite my joking around, not a drop of adult beverages since. I just poured an early glass of wine for the grand finale. I've been half listening for the last hour while doing housework. Now I can join in the drinking games.
When you're Strange (been running through my head since Demcon 2)....and maybe Weird Science
