an unusually-optimistic note

Went out for a walk in the neighborhood with The Dog. He had a splendid time, as always.

Four years ago, there was ONE house in our neighborhood that had a Bush sign. This year: Barack.

Watched the convention this evening. Clinton was good, Kerry, shockingly, was *great*, Biden was OK (he really did flub a couple of statistics, but his McCain wrap-up was well done), but I think the star of the night was Biden's son.

And, when Obama appeared on the stage at the end, that was pretty darn cool.

All in all, this has been a great week for Dems - it's almost enough to make me believe they can pull it off.

In other news, I must say that the first five words in this headline gave me momentary pause.
