   While the msm were blabbing about bill clinton’s speech anyone who was watching c-span got the real treat of the night by watching Kerry’s speech..he was fired up and ready to go wasn’t he. I sure thought so.

     CNN also as a live stream online uninterrupted by talking heads. No one with a high-speed connection should have to miss anything.

   I saw it.  C-Span and YouTube are the only way to go for convention coverage this year.  If the networks were doctors they’d be sued for malpractice for their lousy coverage.

   And why didn’t this guy run for President in ’04?  What is it about pols that they seem to develop personality and fire in their bellies only AFTER they’ve failed at a presidential run?  Sheesh.

     In fairness to kerry he has given some great speeches but you just never knew which kerry would show up-the fired up one or the guy who was long-winded and boring as hell. That’s how it has always seemed to me.

   I ended up spending most of the convention watching CSPAN — there were some very good speakers that the other networks were just ignoring in favor of commentary (or getting their reporters “on the floor” doing interviews.

   Kerry was terrific.  Gov. Schweitzer was fantastic too. (I missed Kucinich’s speech, I need to go look for that one.)

   As much as I like Keith and Rachel, CSPAN has been the way to go.

     schweitzer may a bit too folksy for some, but he nailed one:

     they LUV this guy in montana…his re-election is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
