Four more months..........

Senator Casey just completed his anticipated speech at the DNC. It was widely noted in the media that Senators pro life father was denied a chance to speak the 1992 convention.

Senator Casey, himself a pro life Catholic was expected by many to focus his chance to speak on the issue of abortion. Many will be disappointed.

The highlight from his speech was bringing the convention to its feet to chant "Four more months", regarding the Bush administration.

Red meat was offered as he defined McCain as a "sidekick" of Bush and not the maverick that McCain likes to define himself as. McCain voted with Bush policies 95% of the time in his Senate career.

CNN's Candy Crawley wanted to expand on the abortion debate after in her interview, but the Senator did not bite. Too bad as it would have been a great time to talk more about abortion reduction.

Crawley also asked what Obama needs to do to win Cathoic Vote. Sentor Casey indicated he did not believe there was such a thing as the "Catholic Vote" and "it is not much different than other voters" - he indicated that if Obama tell his story, shows his faith, how he is a father of good character and show human side and who he is, he will win the Catholic vote.

All in all the speech was simple, and just what the convention needed - direct, drawing contrasts, defining the race and going on the attack.....

Lets hope we hear more like it.
