BRASS KNUCKLES. I'm watching
the convention at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, which is
holding a convention party every night. There's free WiFi, so I
figured I'd post a quick item. Al Sharpton got a huge reaction from
the students. But obviously the most important message of the evening
- other than John Edwards's upcoming speech - is the
military.
Not only did retired generals John
Shalikashvili and Claudia Kennedy speak, but they trotted out a bunch
of military officers ... right after 10 p.m., to make sure network
coverage had kicked in. Smart. If Bush and Cheney are going to turn
this into a war election, you've got to have some brass on your
side.
Cate Edwards is speaking now. Good
Lord ... she's as pretty as her father. Going to post this quickly,
because Elizabeth Edwards is walking to the podium.
