RNC Day 3--The Zell Miller Show!

So where do I start with this one. I tell ya, I was so pumped after listening to Zell Miller lastnight that I almost came in and posted my thoughts right then and there. But, I decided to wait and see how I felt this morning before posting on my blog.

Lastnight was an amazing night in the history of American political conventions. Zell Miller took the stage with a passion and zeal not seen in a very long time...especially from the Republicans who tend to be afraid of such outburts and their perceptions. Zell came out firing from the word go and point-by-point filleted John Kerry on every stance he's taken in this campaign.

Zell was harsh but not personal. Don't listen to the editorialists in the major print media b/c they will tell you a lie. The New York Times, L.A. Times, Houston Chronicle, Washington Post and others will play the "insensitive" card and the "it was an attack unseen before" card but that's, let's see let's use a Zell-ism " a big bowl of mush!"

This speech WILL resonate with women too. It may come off as sexist but women in this country want a manly-man to tell them things are going to be ok and by damned those terrorists are going to have to deal with a mighty hammer the next time they even think of doing something like 9/11 again. Women want a strong, manly, leader in their home and it transfers to the presidency in a time such as this.

Zell's delivery will resonate with many voters, especially those in the south who know exactly where Zell's delivery style was coming from. See, in the south, we're familiar with a term called "bein' taken to the woodshed!" For those of you not so familiar with it, it's when the leading figurehead in your life as a child took you out back and "set you straight about some things". Sometimes it was a little barking like Zell unleashed lastnight and sometimes it was a little more, shall we say "physical."

The polls will be interesting to watch come the weekend and early next week. The libbies are running scared right now and not sure how to respond to Zell's rant lastnight. BTW, I hope you were able to watch Chris Matthew's show "WiffleBall" lastnight after the convention. On it, Zell tore in to Matthew's and left him and his bully style of interviewing speechless.


I leave you today with the best line from the speech lastnight...

This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?
