7. that's the networks problem, I'd say
not the convetion's fault. Looks like CNN should get a hefty fine. No need for an open mike among production staff.

8. I watched C-Span and heard no such comment
so it is CNN's problem, not the Dems.

6. I guess they didn't all drop...
a balloon malfunction so to speak. They'll spin it as a character flaw in Kerry - I wouldn't put it passed them.

3. Uh, it's like a convention tradition, assholes.
He talked too fast, too many balloons.

It's like the fuddy duddies said about Mozart, "Too many notes."

They are grasping at straws and the intellectual tipping point of the collective conscious has been reached. Now we all know who's patriotic and who's anti-American, who's moral and who's immoral, who's right and who's wrong.

God Bless John Kerry and God Bless America.

12. Yep
You know they're reaching when they're complaining about the balloons. It's like whining about all that damned sand at the beach.
