Watching The Rev Jesse Jackson on MSNBC give a retread of his 1984 convention speech .....the finish was rather interesting, as he cranked up his "Keep Hope Alive" chant many of the rhythmically-challenged delegates outstretched one arm, hand open. As they pumped along to his chant, an old image came to mind. MSNBC's director caught it, and cut to another angle...but CSPAN didn't.
Are Kerry's operatives really so clueless about how this is coming across on TV? I can't imagine Carville's team bungling the NASA photos or not controlling the broadcast imagery. Much of the imagery seems designed for the large screen, in the hall, not TV. Those in the hall are not in need of convincing.
I've never been polled or canvassed as often as the past week and I'm in a Dem stronghold...frickin' Barbara Lee is my Congresswoman...they're worried about the anti-war vote, that they'll stay home...which of course is exactly what I tell them.
Heh.
