Non-baseball: RNC: Night Four
Homerun.
More thoughts later.
UPDATE: You know, I've been thinking about what I want to say about Bush's speech for hours, and I'm still rather speechless.
So I'll just say this: It was, hands-down, the best speech of Bush's presidency.
UPDATE: I find myself forced to temper my excitement. My first reaction after the speech was "this election is over." But that's exactly the same mistake John Kerry made- he thought this election was his to lose after the DNC. Of course that was never the case, but even it were, he's completely lost it. (Did you see his rally tonight? He invented attacks against his patriotism as justification for a savage attack on Dick Cheney's Vietnam service. Jesus Christ, this guy just crossed the line.)
Anyway, back to the Bush reaction. The rest of the blogosphere seems be of the same opinion. The PowerLine boys loved it. It moved Daily Pundit to endorse Bush. It even got some kind words out of Andrew Sullivan ( who has gone well off the deep end, BTW. Sullivan has quickly gone from one of the best common-sense pundits out there, to annoying single-issue preacher, to complete raving looney in no time flat. But I digress...) Stephen Green has some interesting thoughts as well.
But let's all calm down here. This race is not over by any stretch of the imagination. Let's just pretend that this really is Kerry's race to lose, and then make him lose it.
