Why Zell Miller's speech will be a success
While I see the right side of the blogosphere agonizing over whether it was over the top or not, I see the left side of the blogosphere frothing at the mouth. While the Bush campaign will be negative for a day, the Kerry campaign is going to be negati...

I Have Knocked On The Door Of This Man's Soul Watching Zell Miller speak last night I thought of the old adage, "Only Nixon can go to China". As a keynote speaker he was a brilliant choice: only an honest, plain-spoken Democrat could take John Kerry behind the woodshed and

Yeah, I think Zell Miller can get away with ranting better than, say, Pat Buchanan.

Politics Can Be Zell (Miller)
Georgia Democratic Senator Zell Miller, who lambasted President George Bush, Sr. as the Democrats keynote speaker in 1992 turned in the same kind of fiery performance last night -- only this time it was against his own party and it's

My New Hero I really don't know what to say. I'm speechless. I honestly thought that after Guiliani, Ahhhnold, McCain, etc., that tonight would be a letdown. I didn't know I would get to hear a country preacher on Wednesday night.

MSNBC had Frank Luntz on and in his focus group 11 of 17 (self declared undecideds) said they were voting for Bush because of what they saw tonight. One of the 17 was an obvious shill as she had all the lib talking points memorized so it was 11 out of 16.

Surprisingly (to the pundits anyway) they LOVED Zell Miller... It was a Dem saying it so rather than be "mean" they found it credible.

OH and they LOVED the spitball line.

After two nights of conciliation, compassion, and moderation, the Republican National Convention turned to confrontation. Zell Miller, more than any other speaker, embodied this combative...

I hope everyone watched Zell and Chris Matthews go at it tonight. Priceless. Matthews, pretending not to understand that "spit balls" might be a rhetorical point, a humorous exaggeration if you will (not really), and Zell Miller squinting into the camera wondering what kind of Ned Beatty wannabe was asking such a stupid question. Miller wouldn't have any of it. Chris later laments the use of "the rhetoric of complete destruction." This from a guy whose show is called "Hardball."

I'm not a praying man, but tonight I'm going to get on my knees and pray that I never make Zell Miller mad.

So when it came to red meat, how did you think the delegates liked their Speech Tartare? I think the RNC just went on at Atkins diet that will extend until November 2.

Wow!

Zell Delivers a Powerful Speech
I had planned on blogging this speech live and trying to draw conclusions thereof, however it was so powerful nothing could do it justice other than just posting the entire transcript. Full analysis to follow.
