Last night, we saw John Kerry make political history. Think about it.! [View All]

With the way the convention was laid out last night, with every image that was shared, every piece of music that was played, every speaker that spoke, the order ... every element was intended to reverse a long-term gop tool that they have wielded with much effect over the last 30 years.

And it succeeded.

After listening to the testimony of Wesley Clark, the Green Beret, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Max Cleland, there could be no doubt that John Kerry is a formidable man in ways that George W. Bush can only dream of. After last night, I expect that Kerry will eliminate the advantage evidenced by the the polls in that crucial question: confidence that the candidate will protect that nation.

The gops have been using this for years.

YEARS.

And now, finally, the Democrats have wrested it away from them. In 2004, the Dmocratic Party owns the issue.
