Sep. 1st, 2004 12:29 pmI have to say I loved Arnold's speech last night at the convention. I didn't watch it (I have perfect blood pressure, and I keep it that way by avoiding watching political conventions) but here is a transcript, minus hysterical applause:

Like Obama's speech at the DemFest, it is a wonderful example of rhetoric, with absolutely no grounding in the hearts and minds of the real party power brokers. As it is now, so it was back in 1900 with Teddy Roosevelt, some things never change.
Only Arnold could successfully invoke the memory of Nixon, a name that, until now, had been banned from the lips of any conventioneer in the last three decades.
