Republican National Convention '08

It's very interesting to note that now the the last two RNC Conventions have featured a Democrat as a prime Tim Speaker, Zell Miller and now Joe Lieberman. Both of them were (are) Senators at the time they spoke but the tone of the speeches were different.

"Give 'Em Hell Zell" was fiery and he trashed his party like no one's business. Joe Lieberman didn't talk much about his party. In fact he was more positive about his party than I think the Republicans would have liked. He focused on the ticket and why he thinks it is better than the ticket of his own party (even though he is listed as an Independent, he still considers himself a Democrat).

Who knows what history will say about Lieberman after his speech last night but Zell Miller's speech ended up being his swan song. I think that was by his choice because he is now retired and doesn't even say much to the media anymore. But boy did he go out with a bang!
