My independent voting sister is fired up about Kerry.
My sister watched Kerry's speech at the convention tonight and was really impressed. She called me up and talked about it for a half hour and I said very little besides "yeah" and "uh huh." That must have been one hell of a speech Kerry gave because my sister said she was on the fence before tonight and now she can't stop talking about Kerry and all the good stuff he wants to do (I missed the entire convention due to work). And guess what? She voted for Bush the last time around and we live in Ohio. Score one for the good guys. I'd like to think that I had something to do with the conversion, but I think the credit all goes to Kerry.

4. CSPAN will replay it at some point.
It's a good-ie. Good on your sister! And good on YOU! You probably prepared some of the soil into which Kerry sowed a few good seeds.

5. C-SPAN has all the speeches on their website
and you can watch them as streaming video any time. It's a FANTASTIC speech!
