Oh, I'm sure it will go smoothly. It was just weird to see other's voice the same idea that had popped in my head at virtually the same time. I'm one who thinks if another attack occurs it will be "out of the blue" again and when we least expect it.

Now HEADS UP: Brit just promoed an exclusive with Bush 41 and comments he made about Zell's speech. Coming up on Special Report.

Jim Angle says that the Republicans think President Bush's speech will change the direction of the campaign.

Very good! They are on their game!

I think that would be good strategery. The media deck is so stacked against any Republican, they need to be smart and coordinated to get their message through the filter of biased questions and comments by the mediots.

You are on a roll tonite!!!

After three evenings of blockbuster speeches, I'm all keyed-up and pumped for tonight's final bombing run on the Democrats. I'm at work, but I can hardly concentrate. I've got to get out of here early. :-)

I just wanted to say hello to everyone and say how much fun it has been to share this convention with all of you. Tonight I am off to a party for GWB where we will watch tonight's events on large screen TV's.

It will be awesome to be whooping and hollering with others tonight as GW accepts the nomination! Have a great night everyone... and raise one high for me!

4 MORE YEARS... 4 MORE YEARS... 4 MORE YEARS!!!!

Maybe someone can clarify something for me.... Isn't there some sort of agreement between parties, that the while the convention is going on there will be no campaigning done by the opposite party? I thought I had read that somewhere...

I have a friend whose mom is a big lib who lives in Palo Alto, CA, in the shadow of Stanford. She's been watching the GOP convention, and has been impressed by all the speakers! Her comment to this friend: "The Republicans are all such adults!" LOL!

"Seriesly," she is the kind of person this convention is targeting. I mean, if a female liberal from Palo Alto, CA, can be convinced by the convention to vote for Bush, this election is in the bag!

Until Kerry.

Bush and Cheney didn't.

Reading about Kerry's big rally tonight, I was thinking today that if I were Karl Rove, after the speech, I'd let Bush go on ANY show that wanted to talk to him; let him stay on the air as late as he could.

all his DU followers would cry and scream like babies that this is a repeat of the 2000 Election...

Our response to them should be, "Well, then, just roll over and die, so we can win comfortably!"

Following attendance at the Artillery Advance Course, he was assigned to the Second Armored Cavalry Regiment in West Germany in 1973 where he commanded 1st Squadron Howitzer Battery, and served as Squadron Operations Officer. He also commanded the 84th Armored Engineer Company, and served as Regimental Assistant Operations Franks during this tour.

After graduation from Armed Forces Staff College, General Franks was posted to the Pentagon in 1976 where he served as an Army inspector general in the Investigations Division. In 1977 he was assigned to the Office of the Chief of Staff, Army where he served on the Congressional Activities Team, and then as an Executive Assistant.

In 1981, General Franks returned to West Germany where he commanded 2nd Battalion, 78th Field Artillery for three years.

He was next assigned to Fort Hood Texas as III Corps Deputy Assistant Operations Officer, a position he held until 1987 when he assumed command of Division Artillery, First Cavalry Division. Franks also served as Chief of Staff, First Cavalry Division, later during this tour.

From 1995 to 1997, General Franks commanded the Second Infantry (Warrior) Division, Korea. He assumed command of Third U.S. (“Patton’s Own”) in May 1997, a post he held until June 2000 when he was selected for promotion to four-star General and assignment as Commander in Chief, United States Central Command. Franks retired from service on August 1st, 2003.
