Hoffmania!: How I Found Out About McCain’s Pick

Although Bill Clinton’s speech was absolutely phenomenal, I have to agree with Josh, John Kerry’s speech may well have been the best of the convention. He delivered it with such heart. And he really layed into McCain, in a way that the other keynote speakers have failed to do. Most tragically, if this Kerry had [...]
