Any impressions from day one of the convention?
No?
Here’s mine: In an effort to curb the anti-Bush rhetoric, most of the speeches replaced “Bush” with “they.” All in all, still pretty reserved. The DNC did a good job of pulling tight on Gore’s choke chain. Most of the venom came from President Carter:
Today, our Democratic party is led by another former naval officer -- one who volunteered for military service. He showed up when assigned to duty, and he served with honor and distinction.
Carter offered up humor too:
To meet these challenges, we need new leaders [Kerry, Edwards] in Washington whose policies are shaped by working American families instead of the super-rich and their armies of lobbyists.
Stop it! Seriously!
Clinton proved that he is still the ablest orator around:
Strength and wisdom are not opposing values.
Leave it to Clinton to define the Democrat mantra. Still, he seemed half-hearted in his praise for Kerry.
