Pander Much?

I wasn’t terribly thrilled with Edwards’s words yesterday when he invoked the spirit of Christopher Reeve:
If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.
Hey Senator, you won points from me when I met you last summer and you didn’t pat me on the head or any similar acts of condescension or pity. Don’t start letting me down now.
I may be asking too much for Kerry to put Bush away tonight. Bush’s domestic record gives Kerry all kinds of openings, but W could surprise everyone and somehow pull off a win. Kerry may feel the itch to deliver a knockout blow, but I think it’s more important that he maintain his image as a calm, articulate, presidential figure. He’s done a good job of cultivating that demeanor over the last two debates. Whatever it takes to keep riding the Big Mo into these crucial and final weeks.
Hits to this site had been steadily increasing over the last few days, averaging 80 or 90 a day. I have a feeling some of you may be coming here from Susannah’s site. Others, I have no idea. But it’s exciting to have new readers and I hope you’ll keep coming back.
