I actually thought the speech was terrible. I think the democratic party needs to be worried about how speakers like Clinton, Obama, and Howard Dean stole the convention and John Kerry sat there saying basically nothing, taking a stand oin nothing and really not laying out his plan for the first 100 days and beyond.
I'm a conservative, but many of my left wing friends though, like me, that Kerrys speech had very little substance and was filled with vague, grandious staments. I wanted to hear his stand on Gay rights, on abortion, on Iraq, but he dosen;t want to talk about that.
The reason for this is that the base of the democratic party is not represented by this nominee, and moreover, if the American people heard Kerrys stance on some things, it's a land slide win for GWB. I hope it is.
