And Kerry/Edwards decision to provide a significant role to Bill Clinton will also help in the GOTV effort.

Well, last night it was time for The Poodle's keeper (AKA Teresa Heinz Kerry Bonaparte) to take to the podium. She started off by addressing the convention in several foreign languages...which is appropriate, since her husband is French and she's African American. If you didn't see it, you weren't missing much. The first part was excruciatingly boring...until she reverted to the same old worn-out, liberal talking points that the left has been peddling for months. But then she started talking about what her husband believes, and she said this: "He believes that alternative fuels will guarantee that not only will no American boy or girl go to war because of our dependence on foreign oil... " Ah yes...the old blood-for-oil charge. Don't they ever learn? Let's count the ways to shoot this one down. If the United States were fighting the war in Iraq over oil, then why didn't we just take the oil? Why is the oil still there? Wouldn't it have been much easier to simply invade Iraq, seize the oil fields, and then just let the rest of the country go to hell in a hand basket? We didn't.... because the war in Iraq wasn't about oil, and that's not what American troops were sent there for. We keep reading she is a smart woman .. perhaps so. She's certainly smart enough to use the language of the left .. the language of irrationality. It's particularly galling when liberals talk about our dependence on foreign oil when they won't lift a finger to correct the situation. The environmentalists throw a snit fit whenever we try to drill for our own oil, try and build a refinery or try to do any oil exploration. Oh yeah...we're all supposed to conserve...but something tells me The Poodle won't be turning in his private jet anytime soon. She also mentioned the government creating more jobs (which is not a function of government) and she brought up health care. And what didn't she talk about? Well, she didn't talk about her previous statements that Teddy Kennedy was a "perfect bastard" and that Democrats were "putrid." She made those statements when she was sleeping with a Republican. Things change. In other words, SSDD. boortz.com
