Something is Moving
Andrew Sullivan is sensing something that I’m sensing, too: things are moving, at least at the moment, in the President’s direction. I think the protesters are helping Bush far more than they’re hurting them, and Andrew has some other reasons:
“In all this, you can almost feel the election swinging Bush’s way a little. The swift boat smear was important in jolting the conversation, in changing the dynamic that was pointing to a Bush defeat. But Kerry’s weaknesses are also at play here. I don’t believe his convention was wasted.“

I don’t confuse George H. W. Bush with a great president. I do believe he has been and remains a truly great American, though. His performance as the former president father of the president has been superb–no one could ask for a better performance.
And his performance yesterday in defense of the President and in opposition to the President’s filthy detractors was stellar.
John Edwards is an Empty Suit
Wow. What an airhead. I hope I don’t offend any lawyer friends, but Edwards strikes me as the worst of his breed: ambulance chasers. I’ll be he has more books on marketing legal services, maximizing profitability from a single client, and finding new avenues for class action suits than he has on actual law.
John Edwards is a shallow, empty man who, absent our current legal system, would sell junk bonds door to door making millions without a scrupple.
John McCain Scores Points with Doubters
I thought I was the only one who distrusts John McCain. (I have not trusted him since his attacks on Pat Buchanan in which McCain knowingly advanced phony charges that Buchanan was a Nazi sympathizer. McCain did so for his own purposes and permanently destroy my faith in his character.)
Apparently, though, there are quite a few people who have reservations about the one of the Keating Five who never seems to get a mention with that group.
Like Karol at Dean’s World, I found McCain’s speech last night surprising and uplifting. It cannot be portrayed as tepid, perfunctory, or utilitarian by the media. (Unless, of course, they’re willing to flat out lie.)

Amazon Attacks SwiftVets Book
Professor Bainbridge has discovered another example of liberal hypocrisy. (They’re so hard to find, aren’t they?)
Amazon has suspended its rules of decorum for one book: Unfit for Command. The Amazon policy permits anyone to write anything about anyone–short of profanity. Presumably, one can offer cash money for the assassination of the Swift Boat Veterans with Amazon’s ascent.
I was in a Border’s two weeks ago where I found an aisle end cap dedicated to books on the election. There 14 titles highlighted: two pro-Kerry, one pro-Bush, and 12 anti-Bush or anti-Reagan. (They’ll never get over Reagan. Therapy seems in order.)
It’s too bad liberals don’t have to live by their own rules on dissent.
