- Fred Thompson gave a very good speech. I doubt most people will see it, though. But those who were watching got a very good reminder of McCain's undeniable courage - the description Thompson offered was gripping. Fred was so good that you almost wonder why he didn't do better when he was campaigning for himself.
- Joe Lieberman is probably dead to all Democrats now, if he wasn't already. He's a credible witness to both of the candidates and his description of Obama was damning, in a polite way.
- The Republicans only ran one minute over and let the local stations get to their network news pretty much on time. For a convention that was thrown into chaos, that's pretty good stage management.
- None of this really matters, though. What will make or break this thing will be the appearance of Gov. Palin. If she comes off as credible, it will make a lot of the frenzy surrounding her look pretty damned silly. If she doesn't, well. . . .

That was a speech by Fred Thompson? I thought that it was an old episode of "Law & Order." I've got to stop flipping channels so quickly.
if thompson showed that much animation during the primary, he would have won.
I thought so too, Gino. A lot of people were looking for a reason to vote for ol' Fred, but he didn't give them one. I still contend he wanted a casting director to give him the role.
