The CNN/WMUR-sponsored Democrat debate captured the bulk of New Hampshire headlines yesterday and today, but Granite State Democrats assembled in Concord on Sunday during their regular mid-year convention and in at least one way, this convention was far more newsworthy of the two events.
According to Gary Rayno of the New Hampshire Union Leader:
The former Cleveland mayor [Dennis Kucinich] drew the biggest applause of the day when he called for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney and later told reporters he receives a similar reaction around the country when he calls for Cheney’s impeachment. "I’m just waiting to be discovered by you," he told assembled media.
Read that again: The biggest applause line of the day was a call to impeach the Vice President of the United States by a fourth-tier gadfly.
Heaven help us.
