Taking nothing away from Gen. Gration, who has my gratitude and respect, I would like to point out something else about the 20 or so retired highest-ranking military leaders honored and showing their colors for the nation's next president last night. General Wesley Clark's elevated standing among rank and file Democrats, the ground troops in the towns, cities and states, and the Netroots online, the affection and esteem in which he is held by ordinary Dems, the ones who wear out the shoe leather, should never again be underestimated by the Democratic Party. When Clark walked out on that stage last...

Hope vs. fear, blah, blah, blah. She doesn't even speak well, and the energy level here is cratering. And Lieberman is a bigger get for Republicans than Eisenhower and Leach put together.

Eisenhower, is speaking about her family's history. She grew up in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. She quotes Lincoln and is now talking about our country's recent failings..."impulsive action has replaced measured and thoughtful response." She endorses Obama's strength and temperament...his unwillingness to surrender to fear.

A few still wince when they hear reference to his warnings about the "military-industrial complex." It's been a real dilemma for the war-mongers to have a decorated commander from World War Two who was elected president in the wake of his heroism start talking like a liberal when he was finally out of range of political blackmail. Comes now Susan Eisenhower, Ike's grand-daughter, who is leaving the Grand Old Party to declare herself an Independent. Why? This is why... I have decided I can no longer be a registered Republican. For the first time in my life I announced my support for a Democratic candidate for the presidency, in February of this year. This was not an endorsement of the Democratic platform, nor was it a slap in the face to the Republican Party. It was an expression of support specifically for Senator Barack Obama. I had always intended to go back to party ranks after the election and work with my many dedicated friends and colleagues to help reshape the GOP, especially in the foreign-policy arena. But I now know I will be more effective focusing on our national and international problems than I will be in trying to reinvigorate a political organization that has already consumed nearly all of its moderate “seed corn.” And now, as the party threatens to trivialize what promised to be a serious debate on our future direction, it will alienate many young people who might have come into party ranks. My decision came at the end of last week when it was demonstrated to the nation that McCain and this Bush White House have learned little in the last five years. They mishandled what became a crisis in the Caucusus, and this has undermined U.S. national security. At the same time, the McCain camp appears to be comfortable with running an unworthy Karl Rove–style political campaign. Will the McCain operation, and its sponsors, do anything to win? This week, I changed my registration from Republican to independent. The two political parties as they exist today, and the partisanship that they foster, reflect the many fights of the cold war, the Vietnam era, the post–cold war and the 9/11 periods. Today we are in a different place altogether, where our security as a nation is challenged not just from abroad but also close to home. The energy, health-care and financial crises threaten our national prosperity and well-being, just as surely as any confrontation overseas or an attack by radical terrorists . She has lots more to say. Go read the rest.
