The Right Side of History

Did anyone else get the sense that Biden seems like an inveterate angry drunk? Anyone else think that's exactly what Obama needs as a counterweight to his thoughtful, polite, nuanced, and maddeningly meandering demeanor? Me three. While no doubt shrill at times, the kind of anger Biden exhibited, and the general passion on display from a masterful Bill and an exceptional Hillary Clinton, means this election is America's to lose, not John Kerry's or Michael Dukakis's. We'll see how tonight goes, but Plouffe, Axelrod, et al. have put together the most invigorating and electrifying convention I've ever seen; if we can't pull this one out in the wake of Bush's disasterous policies, it won't be Obama's or the Clintons' fault, it'll be our own.
