Mid-Convention Review
It moved me deeply to see Edward Moore Kennedy address the DNC on Monday. That remains my favorite emotional moment so far. Hillary’s speech, however, was a masterpiece. It is the most impactful moment yet. I thought Mrs. Obama was lovely and exquisitely controlled. La Pelosi reconceived the white pantsuit in famous fashion. Biden needs a monster performance tonight. And Obamachrist? I predict he will emerge before those fluted Greek columns tomorrow night with a whacked-out professional wrestler mullet-weave and a boast in his throat. It will be a moment like the one a person feels in the split second he knows he’s going to fall a long way. There’s an adrenaline rush that makes nonsense of time and propels him into the air: “FLY, damn you! FLY!!!”
