Did anybody else notice that the whole focus of last night seemed to be "we like America better than the Democrats"? Maybe it just appeared that way to me. Anyways, Schwarzenegger's speech was one of the best examples of motivational oration this world has seen in the past 20 years. The reason that it lacked specifics on why we should vote for Bush was because the purpose of his speech was not to include specifics in order to persuade us to vote for anybody, it was rather just a speech to set the tone for the convention. In my opinion he did a damn fine job of it, pointing out the things that the Bush campaign seems to be banking on: the aspects of this nation that makes it great in order to set the tone. He used a great, heartwarming story of achieving the "American Dream" to effectively pull at the heartstrings of the audience.
