When Barack Obama feeds rhetorical fishes and loaves to the multitudes in the football stadium tonight, he should deliver a message of sufficient particularity that it seems particularly suited to Americans. One more inspirational oration, one general enough to please Berliners or even his fellow "citizens of the world," will confirm Pascal's point that "continuous eloquence wearies." That is so because it is not really eloquent. If it is continuous, it is necessarily formulaic and abstract, vague enough for any time and place, hence truly apposite for none.

I thought, based on his other comments, that Brother Chuck would suggest a speech that could be understood by, as he calls them, "rednecks", which is a term of endearment to Chuck and which he used a super paragraph to define elsewhere today. All I can say is "Ya nowutahmeen?

As for being close to Bush, if you vote with him 19 times out of 20, you're not a watch dog, you're not the peoples snarling hound dog, you're not the junkyard dog. You're a lapdog. Maybe McCain's running mate will turn out to be Cheney.

Gore the Bore is still crying in his milk about losing the election? If things would have been different under his leadership, then why didn't he run in 2004? Why isn't he running now? Same for Kerry. If he was so great in 2004, why isn't he running today? Both are election losers, and both didn't have the gumption to run again despite their rhetoric on how it would have been different if they had been elected. It's easy to be critical of the winner when you're the loser. But, there is no credibility behind their criticism when they don't even run again. Gore, and Kerry, should just go away. They have Zero credibility.
