So...I watched five hours of coverage beginning at 8 and ending around 1am last night and from which I've gathered some various bits of wisdom.
1. Obama's endorsement by John F. Kennedy's daughter (and that senator who seems to be of some importance with a similar last name) completely eclipsed dubya's last SotU and that's a good thing.
My thought: Though I wrote this to some length in a comment to Tim's post...this is a good thing. The crazy dem base loves to see Teddy boy in the spotlight and they blindly follow whatever it is they say...as I said...crazy. Regardless, the primary is all about the base being behind a candidate and this is a a start.
2. Bush's speech was just a big up yours to the dems...over and again looking over at them smiling like a pig in sh*t. His executive order saying to ignore congressional earmarks was lesson making the dems stand and clap to something they hate. Whatever...he's a lame duck...someone put him out of his misery. Please.
3. Dem response was very pre-produced but the use of that Kansas governor was a nice touch. I knew that I'd hear 'veepee' as soon as the speech was over and Chris Mathews (HA) didn't disappoint. She's way more presidential looking that Hillary and I liked that. Still the entire speech was an introduction to the new "American Majority" so I guess we'll have to hear that for the coming weeks and months.
Super Tuesday is next week and I'm so damn afraid that Hill-dog will pull out a win that I almost don't want to watch. South Carolina was fun to watch...and Florida (sans the fact it's worthless) should also be interesting.
Keep you eyes to the news. I'll be at the bars Tuesday night. I'm bringing my 'important election lampshade' to wear after Obama pull off a big win.
