The best speech of the convention...Excellent post. The best speech of the convention in my estimation was Leticia'a at the Lady Bird Johnson Bluebonnet Breakfast. When she described her grandmother crawling on her knees to the church in thanksgiving for the safe return of her sons from WWII and the neighbors coming out and laying towels and sheets in the street to ease her way, the tears flowed in the room!faithchatham@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842753099519084220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-85419799817717240472014-07-04T11:35:34.466-05:002014-07-04T11:35:34.466-05:00Second comment, re the last graf ...

On the "limelight" issue...Very good post. On the "limelight" issue, is part of it jealousness, as well as fear of association with the "nationals"?<br /><br />On abortion, the Trib is right that, on most points, that's where I am.
