I have loved the convention..My spirits are high...Steele gave a great speech,too.
Lets not get cocky.....
BTW,,,is their a thread on the Keery speech at the VFW???
This convention has been terrific! From the great lineup -- I can't wait to hear Zell tonight!! -- to the great location. It's all made for wonderful "theater" (and I mean that in the best way). I'm even starting to forget all about the Bush twins' speech. Almost.......
Exactly. I'm sleeping better these days, but I wouldn't want things to look so great that a false sense of imminent victory keeps W supporters home on election day.

Very nice article!
I have spent a year warning against complacency. I WILL enjoy this convention..and feel uplifted, confident and inspired...
But others claim to be feeling optimistic
I also have thoroughly enjoyed the convention. My girlfriend, who recently joyed me by telling me she is voting for Bush (as an independent), is interested in this convention, wanting to hear our side after hearing so much of the leftist side.
BTW, the one line I wanted Steele to say in closing (and yes, he did great) was "And in November, we are going to elect a great, strong, and principled leader...and it's NOT...JOHN... KERRY!!!"
Always keep the faith :0)
The Republican Convention is doing just what it should do - fire up the party workers and supporters so they work hard to and vote right in November.
Watch the convention on C-Span as they do it best, no media talking heads telling you what they think you should be hearing or seeing.
I learned my lesson...I watch everything I miss on reruns and rewatch things I've seen,too....I am really loving it!
Kool-aide drinkers-I used to be a Dem...I remember being convinced that Carter would beat Reagan....I cried the night Reagan won because I believed Reagan would cause a nuclear holocaust... instead Reagan saved the world. Democrats are never good at facing reality. Kerry has no big guns...he has nothing to run on...all he can do is trash the president. I don't think he will win ...with heartland swing voters...He may not even win in New Jersey or California.
Wow...this article is absolutely spot on! He nailed my thoughts exactly.
Actually, I really don't like his movies either, but I thought his speech was terrific. I especially liked the part of his speech where he began each phrase with, "You're a Republican if..." I thought it was excellent and probably led some people to think twice about whether they might actually be a Republican.
I enjoyed reading the DU posts. The Democrats are in denial and/or squirming..hehe.
Ditto that. Steele was really impressive. I haven't seen him mentioned very much, but his speech was definitely one of the evening's high points.
Yeah but some troll made a noose out of it and is looking for somewhere to hang himself.
