A Different Party

I don't know if it's the hurricane, the candidate or just a different party, but this one is a dud.

Last week at the airport before Denver, it was a party. People were decked out in Obama wear and eagerly greeting each other. Two people even approached unapproachable me and introduced themselves. At the airport for the GOP convention? A few people in McCain tees, a married couple in red, white and blue regalia, and otherwise a subdued atmosphere. Even arriving here it was hard to tell that a convenions was happening, whereas in Denver they beat you over the head with it the minute you stepped off the airplane.

Love your thoughts about the GOP and Pailin. How lucky, or convenient, is it that both Bush and Cheney "can't make it" to the convention. Are they kidding? A shorter convention means that they can't get enough excited people to show up to scream for days on end and I'd imagine that McCranky would do almost anything to keep Bush away...
