Night One of the GOP Convention

This commentary on GOP Convention speeches from last night comes from Chuck Muth at Muth’s Truths.  Pretty good commentary in my view.

A tough balancing act faced Republicans with how to handle President Bush. Not the most popular guy in America today, or even in his own party. But the man is the sitting incumbent president. You couldn’t “dis” him and not have him speak at all, much as some may have liked. But giving him a relatively short speaking role via satellite seemed to strike the right balance. Republicans certainly treated Bush tonight better than Democrats have treated Carter for many, many years…and to this day.

* President Bush did throw a little red meat out there, telling the GOP faithful – as well as the rest of the nation watching on TV – that if his captors at the “Hanoi Hilton” couldn’t break John McCain’s resolve, the “angry left” sure won’t. Ya hear that, Michael Moore?
