c-span2 thoughts
campaign 2008 – c-span2
first thought (while watching lee huebner, clark judge and terry edmonds talk about the intricacies and politics of writing the state of the union): i wish i could do that job. writing for a candidate/president/leader that i believed in. these guys have written for nixon, reagan and clinton (in that order) and you can tell that they still stand behind every word they penned for their bosses. i wish i had that sort of indelible faith in a person.
second thought (while watching hubert humphrey’s acceptance speech): not only am i very proud to be a democrat, but i think i really like this speech. particularly the bit about there being three realities, that need be faced and confronted by the nation. and also the bit about the promise of America. i’ve been getting into reading more and more speeches, addresses and the like, so i’m not 100% sure how prevalent such discourse is…but i would invoke the promise of America every time i sat down to write.
third thought: i’m going to the next convention. if i have to kick someone in the face.
