I really can’t comment on the Gore/Clinton/Clinton speeches last night, because I didn’t watch them. After watching Jimmy Carter lecture me on foreign policy (really- what Jeff said), I decided to view something less absurd and threw in ‘Starsky and Hutch.’
I have looked at some of the text of the speech, and it seems to me that the recurring theme from all of them was not leadership, but tax cuts. It seems like they mentioned the tax cuts over and over and over again. I sure hope they keep it up, and we can get Kerry really on record as in favor of raising taxes. If you remember, even Bill Clinton was afraid of a campaign based on raising taxes. His solution was to simply lie and promise tax cuts, and then, of course, never deliver.
