Positively John (x2)

Between now and November—you, the American people—you can reject the tired, old, hateful, negative, politics of the past. And instead you can embrace the politics of hope, the politics of what’s possible because this is America, where everything is possible. John Edwards, Democratic Nominee for Vice President

Committees at the 2004 DNC in Boston have been working hard all week to hammer out the details of the party platform and to go through the procedure of officially nominating John Kerry for president. The nomination, though an apparant given, still has to be moved through the process. John Kerry arrived via boat in Boston, alongside his Navy crew from Vietnam. Almost simultaneously, the terror alert level was raised to orange. The Dems continue to stay on message speaking positively about their plans while avoiding "Bush bashing". John Edwards took to the stage and shared his vision for America and the values he believes in and then he launched into his near famous "two Americas" speech, a sure crowd pleaser he used during the campaign. One thing this convention has managed to do is avoid the political polarization and bashing and find time to speak of hope and the future.
