The Senescent Man

After listening to Georgia Democrat and U.S. Senator Zell Miller’s Keynote address at the Republican National Convention last month, I figured that all the network news the following day would focus on how devastating his message was for Kerry, particularly among the undecideds. Instead we receive a flurry of rationalizations and excuses that Miller was “over the top." It turned out that Bush received a bump of about 11% from the convention, while Kerry experienced very little bounce after his.

Well, apparently some believe that Miller had a positive effect on undecided voters, and I was not alone in my interpretations. What follows a brief analysis from blogger Media Monitor which could be read in full here.
