Different Hats

I'm a couple days late commenting on this, but you know what they say.

McCain said, in advance of the hurricane and curtailing the first day of his convention, "It's time to take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats."

Golly. I never knew they knew there was a difference.

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.
