Both Kerry and Bush were here at the "tip of the spear" yesterday, and having watched their speeches back to back on TV yesterday (Kerry's was invitation only - guess I'm not a "True Believer" and too much hassle to see POTUS), I can assure everyone that we will not be witness to Lincoln-Douglas, or Clay or Webster this fall in the presidential debates. On Charlie Rose last week, a Dem speechwriter, Lawrence O'Donnell, Jr. (guess he is the son of the first JFK's minion) said all speeches were geared to "soundbites" suitable for TV. Deal with it, people - we are in the age of dumbing down. I voted for Obama in the primary, but if Keyes decides to run, I’ll have to go back into the “undecided” category.
