Well, I don't know about you guys but I think the election's just a formality at this point. Kerry's going to win and we didn't even need to hear what I thought was a great speech by JFK. It was the introduction by his daughter Alex that clinched it.  She recounted a childhood memory of her dad  saving her pet hamster from a watery grave by diving into the bay  after its cage was inadvertently knocked off the dock by the tangled leash of their frisky golden retriever. Not only did Kerry come up with the cage, he even proceeded to administer CPR and revive the little guy. My eight year old son Ethan, a staunch Bush supporter (because, he thoughtfully has informed his mother and I, President Bush is the president of the United States of America and change is not always a good thing...) on hearing this story decided to switch his allegiance. "Dad", he told me, "any grown-up that would dive into the water to save a little creature must be a very good person!"

In case you missed it my crack staff (otherwise known as Rotten Dan) has come up with video of the convention's key note speech by Barak Obama.  If you haven't seen this it's worth the short download.

Peace,

John
