Convention Night #2 and Night #3

Tuesday night was good, I had to work a the pizza factory so I missed OBama, but I saw it later on the web.
I like what he said and he is good speaker.
I was thinking.
This convention format allows us to see how well they speak and tells us a little about how they think. Where's the test to see how well they play with others??
Teresa Hinez Kerry was good, a little edgy but remember we have June and Ward Clever in the white house now.
I noticed that we Democrats are now labeling ourselves as progressive instead of using the old "liberal" word that the Republicans have successfully turned into a four letter word.
Someone was asking Dean about calling himself a liberal and he said "Look I'm fiscally conservative and socially progressive and I don't care what label you use. If you want to call me a liberal go ahead."
Yeah team!

Wednesday night, Al Sharpton- good job! Democrats are really united here more than I thought. The trick will be to keep up this energy after the convention.
And then John Edwards. He did good, but I found my self distracted at the end by a strange sinking feeling. These speakers were good, but is it enough? As I wrote in an email to the Democratic Party, I don't know what we'll do if George gets re-elected in November.

This is all well and good, but I can't help but wonder if it is enough. I guess time will tell. All we can do now is lister to John Kerry tomorrow night and pray. Pray alot.
