Reply #2: For Bush, yes, he did.

From what I heard, anyway. Overall, the convention was pathetic. Bush's speech was one of his better ones (and that's not saying much), but what a load of horse hockey! It made me angry because it was so blatantly false in every way possible. Only the delusional would buy it, and I do not want to find out how delusional Americans have become. My guess is he'll get a bounce, but as reality sinks in about the true state of The Union, he'll drop a little below Kerry again. Kerry is really going to have to take it to the mat from here on out.
