What is it about the RNC? All this teary-eyed patriotic schmaltz. The bit with the widows was beyond sappy.
I thought McCain was fairly tepid in his endorsement of his new-found friend George. His best line, his most rousing moment, was the remark about Moore, which indeed was well delivered. But all he could say about Bush was standard boilerplate; he could only bring himself to say that he "commended" Bush's candidacy to the American people, this after mentioning several times how he has many friends who are Democrats, etc.
I confess I gave Guiliani a miss. I tried to listen, but it went on and on.
I missed the Democratic convention because I was out of the country, but if it was as bad as this one, then I'd say the networks are right in reducing their coverage. Political conventions used to have some drama. These things are manipulative marketing glitz.
