1) I'm getting tired of the "From [southern state] to [northern state], from [eastern state] to [western state], we will blah blah blah!" construction. Do people need some sort of regional ego-stroking to get charged up? (Don't answer that.)
2) It's really amazing how the Democrats have allowed themselves to be put on the defensive. Way to allow the tone and content of political discourse to be set by your opponents, guys! And, oh yeah, we GET that you are Against Terrorism!� and are not, in fact, a bunch of raging pussies. Want to mention the crappy economy, the attacks on civil rights, the increasing theocratization of our government anytime soon?
3) Go Al! Sure, he's too much of a loose cannon to get any sort of centrist nomination, but he's the only speaker I've heard so far that had a big chunk of the crowd testifying. (Except maybe Bill Clinton, but that was more like a sort of creepy orgiastic moaning that I may have hallucinated.)
4) I'm getting tired, in general. I feel for the delegates - 7 hours of speechifying a day, and they can't even run out to throw the laundry in the dryer during the slow parts.
