[Dialogue] A good night for America and the globe

[dm14]

I was thrilled with Teresa's talk (on being "opinionated," on family time, on 
changing our policy toward global warming, on hope) and very pleased with 
Obama's. (and Hilary's and Clinton's)  I was dismayed, however, to hear the 
initial response to Teresa's talk from the pbs crew--David Brooks and McNeill 
(or was it Layer--sp??)--who said they were disapointed that she did not talk 
about "little stories about her marriage" or some such thing.  They said she 
should not have made such a broad speech--she missed an opportunity to let us 
know Kerry better.

My goodness!  Where are these men on their journey?  What did they not hear 
that I did hear?  Interesting to consider their perspectives, and her's.

Here's to a new day.
