Moderation: Is It The Key To Success?

"I don’t doubt the sincerity of my Democratic friends. And they should not doubt ours." Sen. John Mc Cain at the 2004 RNC

Opening night was dedicated to the theme " A Night of Courage" and they brought out the top guns including Sen.McCain, a public servant and moderate war hero, as well as former NY Mayor, Rudy Gulliani, who was instrumental in maintaining order during 9/11. The imagery was breathtakingly patriotic behind the speeches designed to reinforce a sense of trust in President Bush. It was a night of moderate icons in contrast to the conservative official Republican platform adopted today. There is a little wobble in the message. Earlier this morning Bush was quoted as saying about the war on terror "I don't think you can win it", but from the podium tonight the message was that this is a war we must fight with Bush at the helm. More parties tonight and more pundits tomorrow....
