| via BBC Edwards uses charisma to sell Kerry By Justin Webb - Thursday, 29 July, 2004, 08:57 GMT 09:57 UK We have heard quite a bit of the speech that John Edwards gave in Boston before. I was slightly disappointed myself. I don't know whether the American people will be or not. Maybe not enough people have heard enough about him. The assumption at this convention is that they are starting from scratch, but a lot of this speech is the same speech that he has been giving on the stump for some time. Certainly during the primary campaign, he spoke often of two Americas, one for the haves and one for the have-nots, and he also often spoke of his own humble beginnings. All of that is about making sure that there is not a single person in America who does not know that story and who has not had a chance to empathise with John Edwards. That is what he is so good at. That is what made him such a brilliant trial lawyer. Never mind, if people have heard it before or not. They were going to start again here and make sure that everyone has heard it. ...more... Uh huh, right. This is the subtext. |

| #1 I was almost persuaded about the first three minutes of his sppech until it fell predictably into the leftish cliches about the Two AmericasTM and all that crap. Expect more of the same from Senator Swiftboat tonight. |
