Two things.

First, does anyone else find it a bit hypocritical that democratic speakers are criticizing McCain for not being a maverick and voting with Bush 90-95% of the time when Obama voted with the democrats 96% of the time and Biden 96.6% of the time making them the 11th and the 8th most partisan members of the senate? BTW McCain at 83% ranked the 65th most partisan of 100.

Second.

A zinger I saw on another forum but fired from the other side:

"Any way that we can put her (Biden's mother) on the ticket? At least she knows that when you meet a bully, you bloody his nose, instead of entering into multilateral negotiations with fellow neighborhood kids."

This was the injection of vitality the Dems really needed in their convention. Wednesday night was a great success for them. Hat trick and triple play when it comes to great speeches: Clinton, Kerry, Biden. Obama appeared for an encore.

I'm looking forward (as a _critic_ ) to Obama's Nuremberg Night extravangaza.

(Will it or won't it end with fireworks and patriotic music*, that is the question...)

* Or an appearance by the Clintons and even Teddy Kennedy again

I like the Dukakis line. Too bad about that tank thing, but even more too bad that people are fool enough to make decisions based on such minutia.

I want Bob Casey's line on a button, a bumper sticker, and a t-shirt.
