From "Kerry's Vietnam" to 9/11
Topics: Political News and commentariesDon't miss Hugh Hewitt's article today appearing in the Weekly Standard entitled "The End of the Sixties."
Hugh writes:
"THE SIXTIES ended on September 11, 2001, but they were interred on the morning of November 3, 2004, when a senator from Massachusetts played the reverse role of another senator from Massachusetts 44 years earlier.
In November of 1960, John F. Kennedy had received a call from Richard Nixon, conceding the election, an act of statesmanship that still redounds to Nixon's credit. Nixon's chances of successfully waging a recount of Illinois and Texas votes were higher than Kerry's of contesting Ohio's votes from Tuesday, but both would have been long-shots, and both would have strained the country's reserves of civility. Both men chose well, and John Kerry's final act of Campaign 2004 was by far his best."..................
Hugh opines that the BEST part of the Democratic smash-up in the 2004 election is the credentialing of a couple of new Democratic leaders who are completely untethered to the old guard.
