The problem is the president has adopted so much of Senator Kerry's verbiage. He doesn't mean it, but he's stolen so much of Kerry's verbiage all of a sudden now the president's for the 9/11 commission report, now he's for more of a United…

Yes, I do. I actually knew Governor Bush when he was in Texas, he's a nice guy. But when he gets in a tough fight, he didn't just get in the gutter, he gets in the sewer.

He can't just say, I'm not a waffler, right? He needs to answer that with style as well as substance.

I think that's why they dialed back on the Bush bashing, because they do know that Tucker's right, that they've got to put out their own message of what they stand for.

If it's this point next week, yes. But that's what the convention is for.

I think when the country gets to know Teresa, they're going to fall in love with her because what you see is what you get.

His approval is 20 points higher than George W. Bush's. So let's repeal the 22nd Amendment and put Clinton back in.

No, Bob's never right. He's far right, but he's never correct. No, I think What president Clinton's going to want to do is frame up the choice as he does better than anybody on the American political scene.

She's an enormous asset. Senator Kerry has a lot of great qualities but he needs to be warmed up a little. He needs to be humanized and Teresa does that for him.
Jul 25, 2004
I think it's great. So much of these conventions are so carefully scripted. Here's a woman who speaks her mind, it's somebody who has been annoying her and she let him have it. I think it's fine. I think it's great. It shows some…

He chose to go to war there, I think in good faith but I think he was wrong and I do think he misled us and tried to hype the intelligence and arguments going into it.

The war in Iraq is very much George Bush's war. It was a war of choice.

Bush is actually a very gracious guy, President Bush let me not call him by his last name. He's a very gracious guy, he would have done very well there.

He couldn't even testify before the 9/11 commission without Dick Cheney holding his hand.
Jul 14, 2004
They can't dump him and they won't because he does hurt the ticket, actually.

When George W. Bush rejected John McCain, for fear that he'd be overshadowed, rejected Rudy Giuliani, for fear he'd be overshadowed, and took the most dull, drab and unassuming person -- really on the face of the earth, I think -- in Dick…

In fact, there's hundreds of thousands of Americans who already voted for John Edwards to be the president, and so he definitely crosses that threshold.
Jul 5, 2004
I think that what Edwards brings is optimism, it's exuberance. It's change, a sense of energy, all of which I think matches up quite favorably with what's increasingly looking like a sort of stodgy and stuck-in-the-mud Republican…

Well, excitement. John Kerry has a lot going for him, but he's not the most charismatic, exciting guy you've ever seen on the stump. John Edwards is.
Jul 5, 2004
I think there's no doubt about it. In fact, there's hundreds of thousands of Americans who already voted for John Edwards to be the president.

Tucker is profoundly wrong when he says it wasn't an interesting or important time in American history.
