mr-knowitall's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Political Update
Wow. A lot has happened. I actually have personal and political entries to make, and I think I'm going to do them separately. Political: My post convention[s] coverage. I have to be perfectly honest and say that I didn't watch much of the Democrat convention. I tried to, but I really found it all predictable and boring. Also, I have been watching the Dems' very closely for several years, and I don't need to watch their convention to find out what they're all about. The same could be said of the Republican Convention, but for one thing; President Bush has been getting unceasingly hammered for the last year, and I had to see how my parties leadership was going to respond. Many pundits did say that Kerry made a good speech, and I have to think that anyone in that situation would. But one thing really stands out to me, and I didn't even see it; "I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty." This was a huge mistake on his part because he's opening himself up to serious scrutiny, and he's not been handling it well. Overall based on the response to the Democrat Convention I have to say it didn't do much for the Democrats, especially since Kerry got little or no bounce from it. The Gallup poll even had Bush ahead after it was over. But contrasting the national response to the Republican Convention is like the difference between night and day. Some polls are showing Bush with a double digit lead. My analysis has lead me to believe that I am still right. A little while back I predicted a Bush04 victory, and I stand by it still. The Speakers:
The Aftermath: When John Kerry holds a Midnight rally after the President's speech, starts ripping his and Cheney's war records, when neither of them have ever said anything bad about his, says that "RNC means Really Not Compassionate; you really have to believe they are getting desperate. Especially since he's diving in the polls. 4 more years folks. Do you think I should play Broadway Joe? Make a guarantee?
