Edwards | More On Edwards

Biggest applause line of the night:

I have heard some discussions and debates about where, and in front of what audiences we should talk about race, equality, and civil rights. Well, I have an answer to that question. Everywhere.

This, too, is from the primary stump speech (almost verbatim, if memory serves). Nothing wrong with that, of course … I simply thought they would chart larger tracts of new water …

… which he’s doing now with the national security section.

Disappointing speech. The whole convention is filled with tired old rhetoric. Lot’s of pretentious promises about what they would do, nothing about what they have done and just why on earth anyone should trust them. Not to mention that their proposals are diametrically opposed to their actions of the past 20 years. It doesn’t sell.
