Crowd was chanting "NOT JOHN KERRY" after the Cardinal's prayer.

Mr. Steele, you left your mark.

Well FReepers, good job, all. I sit here, still sniffling, counting myself proud to have FReeped with you for this convention.

Please be safe if and as you travel for the long weekend. We now officially have 60 days remaining days until the election. Some of you have a deadline tomorrow (Friday) to register to vote. Everyone else--check the Federal Election Commission's website...they should have a schedule of deadlines.

Well, this LeftCoaster (but CERTAINLY not Left-winger) needs to retire. Thanks again, and good night.

I listened to the whole thing tonight without posting so I could get a good listen to what GW had to say. This man amazes me.

Bush has articulated a fully matured vision for this war on terro that far transcends simply avoiding another attack, as important as that may be. It is a vision for a freerer world and a freerer country. In a real sense, it is a call to resolve and a higher purpose. It is in some ways a call to the noblest aspect of America's character and history.

Bush has taken up the mantle of Ronald Reagan. And now he is seeking to LEAD this nation. May God bless him.
