They were talking about Wednesday night at the RNC on Hardball , the episode everyone's excited about because Zell Miller sorta c hallenged Chris Matthews to a duel. But this bit lept out of the transcript at me:

CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: And is this the agenda now for the fall? Joe?

JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST, SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY: I find it remarkable.

We are three days into this convention, and we have been talking all year about how this election is going to be about George W. Bush. The Republicans, with their ad campaigns, the third-party attacks, this convention, three nights into this convention, this convention remains about John Kerry.

I can't remember a major presidential election where you have an incumbent that makes the central focus of their convention about the other guy, about the challenger. It is a radical departure from politics as usual. And what does it say about what they think George Bush has done over the past four years, and, more importantly, what the American people think of George Bush?

Good question, Joe!
