Chris did he close the deal..
Mort Kondrake just said that in comparison the Kerry speech tonite at midnight "is going to seem petty!"
Kerry is TOAST!
Yes, he did. That self-deprecation and asking the permission of the American people to forgive his shortcomings and help be a better man and a better President did it. Its very different from you know, John F*ckin's opening remark about being born in the "west wing" with its arrogant sense of entitlement. The President is at heart a humble man. And in a few closing paragraphs he punctured the ABB's crowd's caricature of him as man possessed of a sneer, with an arrogant demeanor and a haughty swagger. That's not the President we know and admire and he showed complete humility in front of the Convention delegates and the American people. He did the unexpected and I think the people of this country will give him the second chance he asked for so gracefully. America is after all, a country of new beginnings. President Bush did us all proud tonight. I have no doubt he will win in November.
