The Convention

McCain saluted Bush, but gave a kind of mushy speech. I think that this is not a time for preaching love and kindness for people who have lost all semblance of fairness and respect for the freedoms we all have.

Giuliani came on stronger, and nailed Kerry as a non-leader. He detailed the history of our responses to terrorism and made the point powerfully that we cannot afford to remain on defense, or to make treaties with the enemy, but to go on the offense.

The most moving part was the three speeches by the survivors of three heroes who died on 9/11. The evocation of 9/11 was very effective. It should be the slogan for this election: Remember 9/11. Reelect Bush/Cheney.
