hoppin across the aisle
Zel Miller's speech. Man, I don't even know where to start. A brilliant move by the Republicans. Get a member of the other party to do the harsh criticism of the opposing canidate. Powerful stuff.
Fox News gave a little background as to Miller's reason for crossing the line like that. When he first got to Washington and attended his first Democratic caucus, he was appalled by the partisanship of the Democrats in Washington. To him, they are compromising national security just to get the president out of office. He made some good points, but I think there was a bit of hyperbole in his speech. However, the fact that he was a member of the other party may have balanced that out into a very effective speech.
Dick Cheney. Good speech. Not great. Fox news put it best: very Vice-Presidential.
Earlier in the evening, I saw Bill O'Reilly interview Bono. All I can say is TREEEMENDOUS interview. Bono is a stud. To him, it's not about politics, just the issues.
