Reply #96: I agree, TI. [View All]

I was at the TBA conference when Sen Kerry gave his speech Tuesday, and it was stunning. I've seen/heard a lot of speeches, but that was truly magnificent. He OWNED that room. I thought Hillary was OK, except for her Iraq stance, which was pretty harshly received (she looked lovely, BTW, I met her later in the day). Pelosi was next up, and she was good, but not outstanding. But JK had the crowd on it's feet over and over again.
The man I heard on Tuesday was John Kerry, without any evoquocation, without anyone trying to 'manage' him, and he was rockin'. If he keeps it up, there's no stopping him. The media will not be able to ignore or distort his message like they did in '04.
He's learned a lot, he admits his mistakes, and he is not likely to repeat them.

I agree. Kerry '08, and welcome to DU!
