If Teresa Kerry truly believes the election was stolen, why did her husband concede the very next day, refusing to contest it?

In the quest to prove that Michelle Obama is salt of the earth, this is a contrast that pretty much rigs the results. --Franklin Foe r Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:08:00 GMT http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=69218005 tnr1.com 2008-08-28T01:08:00Z http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=69186833 I’ve been to a lot of conventions, and there’s always something gratifyingly weird that happens.

Dan Quayle acting like a Dancing Hamster. Teresa Heinz Kerry reprising Blanche DuBois. Dick Morris getting nabbed triangulating between a hooker and toes. But this Democratic convention has a vibe so weird and jittery, so at odds with the early thrilling, fairy dust feel of the Obama revolution, that I had to consult Mike Murphy, the peppery Republican strategist and former McCain guru. “What is that feeling in the air?” I asked him. “Submerged hate,” he promptly replied. There were a lot of bitter Clinton associates, fund-raisers and supporters wandering the halls, spewing vindictiveness, complaining of slights, scheming about Hillary’s roll call and plotting trouble, with some in the Clinton coterie dissing Obama by planning early departures, before the nominee even speaks. At a press conference with New York reporters on Monday, Hillary looked as if she were straining at the bit to announce her 2012 exploratory committee. “Remember, 18 million people voted for me, 18 million people, give or take, voted for Barack,” she said, while making a faux pro-Obama point. She keeps acting as if her delegates are out of her control, when she’s been privately egging on people to keep her dream alive as long as possible, no matter what the cost to Obama. Hillary also said she was happy about the choice of Joe Biden because he added “intensity” to the ticket. Ouch. (via reader Keith N.)

Can she beat the Teresa Heinz Kerry performance of 2004? That was so bad, there actually may be no way to eclipse it. She's the main speaker tonight. I have a feeling the Dems know what a problem that Heinz speech was, and they know they have to make sure the real Michelle doesn't get seen this evening. Tonight will be an exercise in Myth Making, for both her and her husband. The AP, in the meantime, has a ridiculously glowing article, one of many sloppy kisses to come. Michelle 'the Closer' Obama ready to open ...A tall woman with an outsized personality of her own, Michelle Obama has toured the community centers, church basements and ballrooms of the land, pulling in a crowd of 50 here, 2,500 there, and mixing it up with cozy TV chats and glossy magazine features...If part of her function has been to reveal the husband and dad side of the man addressing the masses, she also needs to show she's just a woman, just an American, just a patriot. [Hahahahahaha!] She'll be joined by her daughters, Malia and Sasha, her mother Marian Robinson, and her brother Craig Robinson, who will introduce her. In the primaries, she was dubbed "the Closer" for her ability to persuade the undecided voters walking in to come on board before walking out. Now she's the opener, the first-night star called upon to testify about her husband's vision and values, and perhaps settle some doubts about herself. For those who still don't like her, what are the odds she'll suddenly now be able to break the ice?

But while Michelle Obama may not be able to break the mold, with speeches like hers Monday night, she can shape it until the mold looks entirely different.

And what a speech it was. What made Michelle’s performance particularly striking was the fact that the speech was not offered alone; she opened up her heart [...] Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:47:07 GMT http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=68966099 tpavone 2008-08-26T03:47:07Z http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=68970412 All of us (are) driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do � that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
