As a lead-up to Denver, the Washington Post has enlisted David Broder—who has covered every convention since 1956 (again: 1956)—for a series of videos in which he reflects on conventions past.
“I love conventions,” Broder says in today’s spot, “but they’re not today what they were then.”
Slight understatement, perhaps. But that makes the remarkable evolution the conventions—bastions both of tradition and innovation—have undergone over the years well worth documenting. And who better to do that than a veteran?
"And who better to do that than a veteran?"
how about someone without a pronounced and Bush-friendly agenda ?
my gawd, I bet I could write his piece all but verbatim without even clicking on your link
this man has discredited himself - not with his violation of WaPo rules for speaking engagements either - I'm talking about how many times in the last 3 years the man has predicted Bush's bounce and return to popularity
he is not your Broder's broder
