Wednesday Afternoon Blogosphere

The blogs are whirling with stories and opinions today (just take a spin down our sidebars for clues). I couldn't resist sharing part of this DailyKOS entry.

I think I was starting to develop a nervous twitch last night about the time we got to Schwarzenegger's speech, especially when he referred to Nixon as his initial attraction to the Republican party (citing it in an anecdote that suggested a Nixon-Humphrey debate that never took place... go figure).

"When the strongest nation in the world can be tied down for four years in a war in Vietnam with no end in sight, when the richest nation in the world cannot manage its economy, when the nation with the greatest tradition of the rule of war is plagued by unprecedented racial violence, when the President of the United States cannot travel abroad, or to any major city at home, then its time for new leadership for the United States."

- President Nixon, 1968 RNC Acceptance Speech

I think it's a safe bet that they won't be throwing that quote up on the big screen at the RNC this week.
