2004 US Presidential Election

Edwards | Arguing with Iowa: Edwards a big winner
Everyone will post thoughts about Iowa. Here are mine: Howard Dean looked like a pro wrestler on WWE Raw during his acceptance speech. Doesn't sound like a president, and makes for lots of fresh video for Republicans. Here's the audio if you can stomach it, courtesy of Blogs for Bush. BTW, this schtick is the big thing on "Fox and Friends" this morning. Probably will play big on all the conservative talk radio today as well. I expect an SNL skit next week. John Kerry talks about some new band he's listening to: George Bush and the Special Interests. And I agree with Instapundit, what's up with universal healthcare in his victory speech? John Edwards had to be the biggest surprise of the evening. His biggest drawback is that he sounds like a cross between Jimmy Carter and Billy Graham. But he's got a couple of things going for him: he looks young (so did JFK), and he's preaching a "positive" message compared to The Howinator Dean and John "F'ing" Kerry. While there's no predicting his finish in New Hampshire, South Carolina is just around the corner, and he's an N.C. boy. This is a campaign to watch. I have to wonder what Gephardt was thinking by putting all his bets on Iowa, of all places. He'd gotten some good endorsements in S.C., for instance, so why Iowa? C-SPAN was another big winner. It was hilarious watching the Kucinish Kid and the "now the voting's over, let's break out the wine and cheese" lady. Also the ponytail guy with the cell phone trying to call in poll numbers. Now there are some strong visuals. And nothing beats seeing Morton Kondracke in a safety orange touk freezing his butt off for FOX news. What happens now that Lieberman and Clark are back in the mix? Good question. It will be interesting to watch from the sidelines. Posted by Bryan M at January 20, 2004 07:44 AM | TrackBack Comments
this is an op-ed and belongs in the correct section. on-topic, i wouldn’t be surprised if john edwards was the next president of the united states. Posted by: x at January 20, 2004 12:55 PM Not surprised? I know…I know….you’d be frickin amazed! ha ha Just watched Gebhardt’s teary goodbye speech, and all I could think of ….was that I guess HE was the MISERABLE FAILURE!! Our Pres is speaking tonight, and still in the game…..The gang of 9 dwarfs may be getting smaller, but they are still DWARFS. Posted by: DickDDems at January 20, 2004 03:24 PM Post a comment
