THE BUBBLE HAS BURST: Friday, September 3, 2004

Friday, September 3 2004

It's 4:30 am, and after less than two hours sleep I'm off to the airport to head home. I'm afraid your humble convention correspondent has been overcome by exhaustion.

This has been an amazing week full of amazing moments, capped off last night by what I thought was one of the President's best efforts ever behind a podium - the final twenty minutes of which I would rank as some of the best political oratory delivered in recent memory.

During that span many in the hall were moved to the edge of tears, along with the President himself, as George W. Bush poignantly recalled encounters with our fellow countrymen during their grief torn moments over the last four years. Then we were moved to laughter by a by a man confident enough tell jokes about himself - and to let the country laugh along with him. It was a remarkable few moments traveling that emotional trajectory along with the President in the hall last night, and it displayed in a very raw, real way many of the qualities that many Americans have come to appreciate and admire about him over the last four years.

I can't be sure it played this way in your living room or in living rooms across America, of course, but I have a hunch that it did.

Back with more thoughts later - from home. - T. Bevan 4:48 am
