Dean's speech tonight - while more faltering than usual for him - resoundingly articulated the lasting legacy of his campaign: a stronger, more combative, more visionary Democratic party. He also talked a lot in the past tense about the campaign, and quite vaguely in the future tense. "We are not done yet." Edwards found the perfect soundbyte to celebrate his surge while spinning Kerry's narrow win: "Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear." And he does a tremendous job of looking like he doesn't expect the applause but is happy to go along with it. Kerry's right to focus, in his speech now, forward on his vision for the country and to direct his anger at the sitting President. "Some of us know something about aircraft carriers for real." And here come the three words again... There they are. He's still a less than inspiring speaker though.
