Good point!!! I don't see a bit of "sweat" on Bush, but a good and mature president giving a grown-up speach. It would be unbecoming for him to be a Arnold or Juliani or Zell -- he's the presdident for crying out loud

Last night's focus group LOVED Zell's speech; out of 17 independents/undecideds, 11 left voting for Bush.

The progress we and our friends and allies seek in the broader Middle East will not come easily, or all at once. Yet Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of liberty to transform lives and nations. That power brought settlers on perilous journeys, inspired colonies to rebellion, ended the sin of slavery, and set our Nation against the tyrannies of the 20th century. We were honored to aid the rise of democracy in Germany and Japan and Nicaragua and Central Europe and the Baltics — and that noble story goes on. I believe that America is called to lead the cause of freedom in a new century. I believe that millions in the Middle East plead in silence for their liberty. I believe that given the chance, they will embrace the most honorable form of government ever devised by man. I believe all these things because freedom is not America's gift to the world, it is the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman in this world.

It's all good.

What would really make it perfect would be giving us a national sales tax and nothing else...that would clinch it!

Other than that minor request, Bush is hitting everything! An a Hollywood/Kerry slam in one! LOL!

I'm half-Dutch. Does that count? My Dad was born in Holland.

The crowd needs to tone it down a bit until an applause is required...Double ditto! They drove me crazy during the Cheney and Rudy G. speeches.
