The Formula for Shock and Awe
"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate -- look to his character." --Noah Webster (1789)
It'll take more than a slogan.
There's a major storm heading for Tampa.No, I'm not talking about Isaac, the storm we hope will stay offshore or dissipate before making landfall. (Memo to Republicans: When planning future conventions, consider a location somewhere outside of hurricane alley at the height of hurricane season -- a region that has suffered considerable loss of life and hundreds of billions of dollars in storm damage over the last two decades.)
Nor am I talking about all that turbulent hot air that emerges from Joe Biden's mouth whenever he's near a microphone. Biden is the centerpiece of Obama's "counter convention" next week and will arrive in Tampa Monday in an attempt to overshadow the Republican confab. (Memo to Republicans: Paying any attention to Joe Biden might ultimately be a waste of political capital, as Obama may just be desperate enough to tap Hillary Clinton -- or any other reasonably sober and cognizant humanoid -- as VP for his 2012 ticket. Or it may just be that Biden is confused and thinks the Demo convention is in Tampa!)
