My Man Rudy

September 3, 2008 by B. Daniel Blatt

The first guy I backed for ’08 is up on stage, but I’m not sure how to cover it.

We’re all just awaiting Sarah Palin.

I like Rudy’s line about McCain passing every test.

He’s giving us some of our nominee’s biography, contrasting it to that of Barack Obama.  We hear laughter as he mentions Obama’s work as a community organizer and chants “Zero” again. “He couldn’t decide whether to vote yes or no.  It was too tough.”

He notes the number of times Obama voted present while in the Illinois legislature.  “I didn’t know about this vote present when I was Mayor of New York City. . . . For president of the United States, it’s not good to enough to vote present.”

“John McCain has been tested.  Barack Obama has not.”

I’m loving this–“Hope is not a strategy.”

Again, he follows Linda Lingle in noting Obama’s absence of executive experience.  Seems to be a common thread in the attacks on Obama tonight.

    Now Rudy’s pace is slowing. Maybe it’s the arena. Maybe it’s too big, so the crowd response cycle is a bit long, so the speaker slows down. It’s not great for broadcast.

    Best effin’ line: “How dare you!!!”
