Max Cleland is speaking Thursday night. That lying bastard doesn't know how to NOT bash President Bush.

Thought these folks were "the most united they have been in years" according to Terry Mac. Well in a manner of speaking they are united in their and by their hatred of GWB. The problem for the Dems is because their hatred is so pronounced, they will not be able to hide it. Period.

Expect a Bush bump following the Dem convention.

My guess is that they won't be able to contain themselves and will have their feet so far up their mouths they'll need crowbars to get them unstuck.

[rintense]

Well, after seeing Al Franken go unchallenged to a slew of lies on PMSNBC, they don't need to bash Bush at the convention. The media is doing that job for them.

[plain talk]

Max Cleland is speaking Thursday night

Of all the speakers this is the one I'm most worried about. I just visualized Cleland lecturing Bush about the costs of war and the emotion he could stir up as a vet. I then felt the same way I felt during the macarena on Clinton's first convention when I said to myself - he's won this. Dems are masters of emotion. We'll see.
