B(log) O(f) T(he) D(ay)

New feature:  The Blog of the Day, or BLOD, for short.

William Saleton in Slate on Teresa Heinz Kerry and Barak Obama.  He thinks it's silly to give the First Lady so much play in the presidential campaign, and he thinks most of her speech was silly, too.  As for Obama, another favorable take, but a bit more measured than the ga-ga's he got from the television pundits.  He absolutely "melted" Mark Shields, David Brooks, and Chris Matthews.
