Biden Being Biden
Bill was great tonight. Without having to play Hillary’s heavy anymore, he seems to have little trouble getting juiced up for Obama.
Biden was rough around the edges…. Talking about John McCain’s new taxes when he meant tax cuts. But you get the point. But in contrast to the high degree of difficulty dives Obama takes from the 10 meter platform, Biden’s cannonball oratory has its charms.
Tonight was the best night of the convention so far. Two great and one pretty good speech, with a little Obama tease at the end. But if the crescendo is building, I can’t but think the Democrats missed their last best to rip McCain & Co.
John Kerry did his darnedest. But the TV didn’t carry it — MSNBC commercial breaked through it and then replayed bits of it over cheesy patriotic string music.
Biden and Bill made a few glancing blows, but nothing, I’m sure, like the Obama lashing that’s going to be dished out by Rudy, Lieberman, and Mr. Mitt-mentum.
