What are your impressions of the Democratic National Committee Convention so far?<\/p>\n
Mine can be summed up in one word… YAWN.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s 2004 all over again… There are no ideas, no positive agenda and no vision for the future. So far their entire agenda can be summed up as we\u2019re miserable, Bush sucks and John McCain is just Bush 3.0.<\/p>\n
Well, I’m not misserable, George W. Bush is not running for re-election and John McCain is no George W. Bush. If that’s all you’ve got I’m going to put my feet up and dive into Kathy Reichs’ latest novel “Devil Bones”.<\/p>\n
