Tenchusatsu, despite what all the pundits thought, the GOP convention is anything but a show of moderates. I was LOL when they mentioned how the lineup of speakers somehow proved this. Yup, good point. It seems that this election will in the end not turn out to be Bush vs. ABB, but Bush vs. Kerry, and many will be voting on Kerry as defined by this convention. And Kerry not just has not define himself (without re-re-re-definition), it looks like he has not defined the issues the campaign will be waged on. The issues will be defined tomorrow by Bush. BTW, a few guys mentioned on MSNBC, what I thought about myself, which is something similar to what happened in NYC when Giuliani was running for mayor. Going into the election Giuliani was behind some significant percentage (like 5 to 8 points) yet he won. The "sophisticated" way to vote, he way approved by various elites was to vote for Dinkins (his highly incompetent opponent). These guys (Ron Silver and Scarborough) said the same phenomenon may be at play in this election. The people tell pollsters the "sophisticated" answer they think they should say, but when it comes to voting, they will vote their true instincts. Joe
