At the Democratic convention in 2004 — Boston — the party stuffed the stage with every senior military person who supported Kerry. They no doubt rounded up every last one of them. And they all stood on the stage, saluting. Remember Adm. Stansfield Turner and that bunch? I think they were all there, except maybe Gene LaRoque.

Anyway, I said that if the Republicans pulled the same act — paraded all the military people who supported them — they would need a bigger room than Madison Square Garden.

Well, the same thing happened this year. The Dems staged their military parade. The loudspeakers blared a march (pretty corny). (And the whole deal was fairly condescending, I believe.) Anyway, I say again: If the Republicans pulled such a stunt — they would need a good chunk of the state of Minnesota.

But then, the Republicans have no need of such a stunt, right?
