Political Thought of the Morning

Thinking about the way John Kerry was presented last night -- he's George W. Bush, the way the son of a prominent family who attended elite schools like Yale, has real religious faith, served in the military with distinction, sought political office, et cetera, should have turned out.

I could certainly live with that, even if I grumble a whole lot about political compromises he makes and complain that he isn't left enough. Because he ain't the political sock puppet that Dick Cheney is ruining America with.

Exactly. He'd not liberal enough for me, but he's headed in the right direction.

I strongly agree...and I appreciated how his presentation was put together to draw the attention of middle-of-the-roaders and others...but you know what's depressing but not surprising?

I had to walk the dogs last night as the speeches were going on too long and the animals just didn't understand why I was waiting, so out we went--and as I passed down behind the condos of many in this comlex, you know what they were watching? Jeopardy, and other similiar stuff.
