Having only caught bits and pieces of the convention I can't give a very well thought out and complete opinion on the entire evening. However, I did see the televised Bush speech. It seemed to me like he was a man in political exile. I don't really believe he was managing anything related to Gustav, but it was simply a good excuse to keep him away. Also, there seem to be a lot of images and rhetoric that reflect a sentimental theme throughout the convention. Images of Ronald Reagan, chants for Teddy Roosevelt, and camera zooms on aging white folks really doesn't show me any indication for a true desire to change. All of this seems to harken back to the "good old days" as opposed to looking into the 21st century. Also, if the Dems win more seats in the senate, what will Lieberman do? I almost feel sorry for the guy....almost.
