Notes from Boston
(or rather notes from Northern NJ, where the TV has been stuck on MSNBC for 4 days)
Boy do the democrats know how to throw a party! The only other fiscally conservative bunch i know that can get down like this just got indicted over that whole Tyco mess.
It seems to me that the fundamental strategy for this campaign is "Assume most people are as disturbed by GWB's born-again fuckwaddery as we are, drag our asses to the middle of the road, and try not too piss off too much of the core lefties." Sure that worked for Bill C. but he's a lot different than Frankenstien. No one wants to bang Frankenstien, where as everyone (men, women, children and EVIL) really wanted to hook up with Bill. I'm hating myself for saying this, but thank god Al Sharpton got to speak...
The convention over all was a bit of a drag but one interesting story that developed was the race to see who on the dems side could match the sheer over the top sexiness of the president's nephew, George Prescott Bush. As you may recall GPB made a spectacle of himself during the last RNC in 2000, jumping in front of every camera in sight, just so Uncle George could point to his mexican nephew...
The race came down to a few contenders
Barak Obama |
 Ben Affleck |
|
 Dennis Kucinich |
 Chris Heinz |
