Some general comments of the finale of the last convention and the beginning of the home stretch.
Looks like Kerry came out swinging after the finale of the RNC (or at least tried to...)
I know almost zero about Kerry - for you guys on the east coast - if the last two months of this campaign turn out to be a slugfest as it appears it might, does Kerry have the nads to swing back (and be effective while doing so)?
I watched almost his entire rebuttal last night and for Kerry being 'fired up', I wasn't too moved emotionally by what he had to say. I thought he came off as flat and uninspired, and I'm just wondering if that was just me because I was tired.
It looks as if the campaign will be a tad more spirited than the one in 2000. The debates should be fun at least.
On an unrelated note.....does anyone else notice that Democratic conventions and events are disrupted by protesters far less often than the Republican ones? I know - that's America and all, but those people are really annoying. Orderly protests are fine with me, just don't be such a jack-ass about it. Surely they'll get attention, but many people will just see them for the annoying jack-ass they are.
As far as I'm concerned, the more orderly and organized the protest, that's all the more effective it will be in getting your group's point across. People that break into convention halls screaming and carrying on are just criminals that should be locked up.
