The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town Here is David Remnick's rather eloquent take on the DNC. It is interesting that the early post-convention polls show no discernable 'bounce' for Kerry. CW is that his focus was on National Security, the one area in which GB43 seems to have an edge. Remnick focuses on the micro-management of the speeches by the Kerry staff. The result was bland oratory until Kerry himself attacked Bush on Thursday. I thought that Kennedy's speech was excellent, despite his difficulty in delivering it. Sharpton was mesmerizing. Obama was truly remarkable.
