Live Commentary In Real Time - John Edwards
John Edwards is walking out to "Liftin' Me Higher," playing up the "John Edwards is the most optimistic man EVER" thing. I heard the second choice was "Shiny Happy People." Not really, but Jesus, have you ever seen a shinier dude?
Ah yes, going after the values theme. "You don't judge someone's values based on how they use that word in apolitical ad." I like it, Johnny.
"More negative attacks. Aren't you sick of it?" Damn, sounds like he's talking right to you.
Optimism, optimism, optimism. Ah yes, and the good ole "Two Americas." Sort of feels recycled but I guess the point is that this is the first time a lot of people are hearing it. Maybe he'll kick it up a notch as it goes on.
Whoah, he's getting pissed. Nice, John. "I have heard some discussions and debates about where, and in front of what audiences we should talk about race, equality, and civil rights. Well I have an answer to that question. Everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere." Feels like his Clinton moment right there. And by the way, the officially released text of the speech had only 1 "everywhere."
Edwards to terrorists: "We Will Destroy You." Never heard him talk so tough before. Think it will get my dad to stop calling Democrats "appeasers?" Right.
Wow, he's promoting a real expansion of the military. Talk about trying to neutralize a traditionally Republican issue. Too bad it will further alienate Nader voters. This campaign is clearly not engaging them, instead going after the swing voters in the middle, the Clinton model. While I understand the strategy, a big part of me does wish they would push left. We spoke with a representative of the middle-of-the-road DLC. Dave will expound tomorrow. It was a really interesting conversation.
Wow this guy is great on TV.
Another Clinton moment - "Hope Is On The Way," except he's not hitting it out of the park like the Big Dog.
Maureen Dowd nicknamed Laura Bush "the best decision George Bush ever made." I suspect the same will be said of John Kerry's choice of running mate.

Too hawkish by half for my tastes.
The first chink in the armor for the beloved Edwards...
