Election Commentary #2

Dear Audience of the Republican Convention,

If you cheer and applaud after every sentence the speaker utters, you will be there all month. At least save it for the people on the ticket, mkay?

Thanks,

I agree with your comments. Even today reviewers of Palin's and McCain's speeches said that neither one had much substance. That does not bode well for them. I was so hoping to learn a bit more about their agenda. I get the impression that many of these politicans don't have a good sense of the ironic or a dry sense of humor. Those of us who do, I think, tend to stay well away from going into politics.

Unfortunately, I don't think there are enough voters with a sense of irony to make much of a difference to the campaign or the result. Objective self-appraisal seems to be entirely lacking in American politics. [grump]

I wish I could believe a lack of substance would make any difference at all to the people listening to the speeches...
