16. It does seem like the big media talked over lots of the speeches
that were critical of Bush-McCain. Lots of speakers were polite but critical of the Bush policies and McCain's changes. Jim Leach, Republican who will vote Obama because he's ashamed of the modern Republican party of Bush-McCain, was quite effective. And most other speakers each gave at least five reasons they opposed JSM III's candidacy.

But I was so sorry they are not covering Kerry when he was the last Dem presidential candidate, and a senior senator.

But that gives the DNC the opening to use the great Kerry paragraphs about Senator McCain morphing into Candidate McCain, who needs to finish the debate with himself before he debates Obama. I think they should keep his lines in tact to include the "Are you kidding me folks?"
