Follow That?

With the DNC in the books and, by almost all accounts, a rousing success, the question now is how does the RNC follow that? In one of the best conventions--if not the best--I've seen, the McCain camp will need to have some serious mind-blowing material to counter the new Democratic wave of momentum. Putting Bush and Cheney on the podium will do nothing except for rouse the fringe, having Giulliani speak will leave the more traditional-valued conservatives cold, having Lieberman speak will alienate certain groups in the base, and so forth. This is not going to be an easy task for the Republicans to overcome. Perhaps a smarter strategy would simply not try and compete with overshadowing the DNC, but saving up momentum for the debates, which promise to be great.
