What Bounce?

Alazeera is reporting today that Abu Musab Zarqawi has been captured! We have had reports of this from them before, but if this report is true, and right now Americans forces are awaiting DNA confirmation from the un-cooperative prisoner, that would just about negate any bounce Kerry may have received from his unimpressive speech. He did do a good job of attempting to co-op the Bush/Cheney themes from 2000.

Amazingly Tom Oliphant a staunch Kerry supporter gave the dull speech last night a thumbs down.

Also Diana West has a really good piece on the Kerry intro film last night which featured many of the fabricated and re-enacted scenes from John Kerry and his travelin' buddies. After they all came out on stage to introduce him last night I was waiting on them to pull out a American Flag and burn it so Kerry would fill right at home.

Most of the Dem's that I have talked to this week are having a big case of buyers remorse. They fill robbed and cheated and long for the days of conventions that really meant something and was not just a extrememakeover for the nominee.

Why was there no mention of Kerry's 20 year senate career last night in the bio-film? Also why did the quickly gloss over his leadership role in the anti-war movement? Could it be this will not sell with Midwest and swing state voters? If one is so proud of their senate career why not run on it?

Question of the day name one piece of major legislasion which carries Senator Kerry's name.

Answer; you want find one.

One last thought did Jimmy Carter hanging out with Ted Kennedy before his speech? He was really slurring his words like Ted.
