Cable news has been covering Senator Kerry’s arrival by boat in Boston for the last half hour or so. Boats go pretty slow after all. He was gabbing with his Vietnam buddies along the way in an event designed for TV camera. I think the only way they could have played it up more would be to arrive by rowboat–a la Washington crossing the Delaware.
Anyway, a somewhat amusing episode of campaign stagecraft.
Kerry better get working on his speech once this show ends. The convention has gone fairly well thus far, but it he’s the clean-up batter and must deliver a game-winning hit.
