3. our team is SMART
this speech started with Carter's laying down the core theme:

LEADERSHIP v. MISLEADERSHIP

they, correctly, let Kerry make the TOPPER but nearly every speaker was laying the foundation for THIS speech.

AMAZING job! just stunning.

what is this feeling? is it hope?

I've know anger so well...

what is this feeling? is it hope?

5. Agreed... and...
remember the pundits saying it was a bad idea to have Edwards because he had more charisma and would outshine Kerry?

9. Speaking as an Edwards guy--
Maybe this turned out for the best. JK is making me proud and really confident. He's rising to the occasion.

22. but not a list of individual SONGS
it was a political CANTATA, weaving and repeating themes in consistent, nuanced and REPEATED language into a whole.

with a FINALE ULTIMO delivered by the HERO...

BRILLIANT!!!!

17. I've been waiting for this....
... passion and conviction. We'll win, if Kerry can keep this up, we'll win BIG IN NOVEMBER.

Nothing would make me happier than to see a LANDSLIDE REPUDIATION of George Idiot Bush*, and tonight I see that dream as a real possibility :)

28. It was great to watch Wolf suck lemons
while the throng was going nuts around him.

Kerry was...undeniable. The future is looking pretty good.

29. By the way anybody listened to C-SPAN?
The ammount of converted Republicans was great to hear. Oh and if anybody is reading this who called C-SPAN (funnier things have happened)... I welcome you... jump on the band wagon.

Oh and yes, it WAS a great speech... from President John Kerry

35. John Kerry is my President
He delivered a phenominal speech, from the heart. His family and veteran friends were beautiful. I've never been prouder of anyone in my long life. He's convinced me that he is one of the smartest people existing today. God Bless Kerry and Edwards. :loveya: :yourock:
