There was much grumbling among Republicans over the negative ad the Gore campaign has started running against Dick Cheney. He's running against Bush. Everyone knows a Vice Presidential nominee has no effect on a Presidential election. Last week things were chugging along at a pretty acceptable clip. I allowed as to how this was going to be my fifth national convention, and wished her a good evening.
Credentials are all.
First, you get every one you can get your hands on and hang them around your neck on as many lanyards as you can fit. There are people here who have so many pieces of laminated cardboard hanging around their necks they are in danger of sailing over the Camden River if a good breeze catches them just right. The other method is to have no credentials. If you are important enough, you get into where ever you want. The idea is to have a credential which allows you to get into somewhere that I can't go.
