Blogging will be Light this week
Blogging will be light this week as I'm off on vacation. I'll try and put up a few posts tomorrow but that will be it until next week.
Other than that,
John McCain made a few great points in an otherwise lackluster speech last night. His delivery was atrocious, and was quite flat. He had the annoying habit of dropping his voice at the end of a sentence, right when he was getting to his point.
But he did say that the "status quo" that we supposedly had with Iraq was in fact unraveling. The choice, as he correctly said, was not between a stable status quo and war, but between a growing threat and war. Readers may recall that I said this myself in my "No Regrets" post.
Then there was Rudy
He gave what must be one of the best convention speeches I have every heard. Heck, it was one of the best I've ever heard period. He combined seriousness, humor, history, and an emotional tribute to 9/11. His parody of Edwards |Two Americas" was priceless. He endorsed Bush's policy of the strategic offensive against the terrorists, a concept I wrote about earlier this month. I did some channel surfing afterwards and all of the liberal commentators were almost speechless.
So far, so good for the GOP. We'll see how Arnold does tonight.
