WP: Dems Show Unity Against Bush
THE SPEECHES
Ted Kennedy--FULL TEXT (NYT)
Howard Dean delivers emotional speech to 500 supporters (*Earlier speech-not the primetime speech)- Dean claims Kerry won't win the election despite his wife, but that Kerry is going to win the election because of his 'fantastic' wife. One line in the article quoted from Will Marshall, president of the centrist Progressive Policy Institute, made me scratch my head, because common sense tells me people usually "go" with what makes them feel good: "There was almost a collective decision in the Democratic mind to say, ‘OK, this guy (Kerry) will do'...Kerry was the beneficiary of a kind of sober decision by tens of thousands of Democratic activists that the most important imperative was to beat George Bush, not to indulge in votes that made you feel good..."
At MEDIA MATTERS, read how FOX News' Bill O'Reilly lied about Howard Dean's Iraq position.
WP: Howard Kurtz on FOX's Convention. Kurtz also provides a footnote from the bloggers at BOP.
Check out this Byron York article, "RFK Jr. Uses the F-Word", at the National Review. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. allegedly told an audience in Cambridge, Mass. Monday that President Bush has brought fascism to America. There's a rant about Al Franken and Joe Conason in the same piece.
Can you imagine conservative columnists saying that Kerry may win because voters need a breather? Josh Marshall is seeing it happen in places like this one.
