3. Thanks

[dogtag]

4. he sounds a bit 'husky' but looks OK.

Would it have killed MSRNC to let us hear some of the prelims and introductions? I guess so.

[henslee]

5. I will never take my eye off the ball. Good.

[Thrill]

6. Just curious

when is he going to remind people that it was Chimpy the one in charge during 9/11. When is he going to say "Bush already proved he couldn't keep us safe"

[Guaranteed]

7. He kind of implied it when he said that "he'll never take his eye off

the ball."

[Guaranteed]

8. This is good...he's hitting him more broadly on foreign policy.

Excellent.

[LittleClarkie]

24. Stop isolating ourselves

and start isolating the terrorists.

Good stuff.

[WilliamPitt]

11. Thanks for the link, Mr. Pitt (n/t)

[Thrill]

10. Why Joe Biden?

Did he go to school in Penn? No Ed Rendell?

[dogtag]

12. Egads, coughing now and looks like he's fading...

hate to sound a sour note, but not much energy. Who can blame him for that? This whole campaign is candidate abuse, IMO.

[Thrill]

13. Its not a stump speech

its a serious speech about policy. We shouldn't expect a ton of energy

[dogtag]

14. I agree with you, it's just that so few Kerry moments

are televised that I wish he were in full flower, so to speak.

[FatSlob]

Kicking ASS! GO JK!

[Guaranteed]

15. HERE we go...

Actually...addressing...terrorism...WOW!! Imagine a president who does THAT!!

[Rockholm]

16. When will CNN lose their satellite feed?

[Jack_Dawson]

17. What's FAUX carrying?

[Guaranteed]

18. Surprisingly enough, they're carrying the speech. nt

[Jack_Dawson]

20. GTF outta here...

Seriously, what is FAUX showing right now? "Fox and Friends", "Your World w/ Neil Cavuto", "Dance Party with Shepard Smith"...which one?

[Guaranteed]

19. He's getting kinda mushed-mouthed. nt

[Clinton Crusader]

22. Dont kill me, but I dont think this is his best moment

I was so hoping for a bag up knock em dead speech, but I dont think this is it. It's like blah blah blah, no great bytes. And maybe Im just a cranky f**k today.
:kick:

[Guaranteed]

23. Well, here's the thing...the message is great, the presentation

is just messed up. He's hitting the mics and coughing and garbling his words...

Oh well...

[Clinton Crusader]

37. the coughing

well, he DID or HAD a cold. But it was distracting. He was masterful on the AIDS thing.
:kick:

[Guaranteed]

21. This is GREAT...is exactly what he needed to do...

He's BROADENING his attacks, talking about ACTUAL HOMELAND SECURITY- which, oddly enough :eyes: , Bush never talks about!

He's squeezing them really hard now, showing leadership. This is good.

[LittleClarkie]

26. Very specific

Watch the motherfuckers start to steal these ideas.

[TheDonkey]

25. Dealt with that heckler VERY well, seemed quite cool

going off speech! he's the best.

[Guaranteed]

27. Yeah, this is a great ad lib....nt

[dogtag]

28. Take that, Shrubby. Our man can ad lib -

and he can talk to a heckler. Aren't you jealous???

[LittleClarkie]

29. Who's he speaking to?

Biden just told him "You're on a roll, buddy."

[TheDonkey]

34. The audience? It's just an invited rally, open to public I'm sure too

but I know you could print invitations online.

[Dawgs]

30. WTF? Lost feed...

CBS is screwing us, LOL!!

[LeinesRed]

31. FAUX JUST SWITCHED TO SMIRKING CHIMP

[ArtVandaley]

32. He's kicking ass!

Recently, I've been a bit worried about his campaign. But this speech has reaffirmed to me that he will be a good president and he WILL WIN. We've got to keep working our asses off, casue Kerry looks like he's ready to do his part also.

[berner59]

35. This speech is just not for our voters...

this is a speech for our allies...start warming them up...

He is so right about all this...and this helps in the "fear factor" which Bush pushes... We'll feel safer if "we're all in this together"

[TheDonkey]

33. Just bitch slapped Bush. "Just because you can't do something

doesn't mean it can't be done"

he should have also added. "I can, and I will!"

But it was a good punch to the stomach.

[Claire Beth]

36. Thanks....that was one...

kiss ass speech. He did GREAT.

[girl gone mad]

38. Joe Biden said it.

"You hit it, pal!"

:)

[hansolsen]

39. Fabulous speech. The "closer" has arrived. If you listen carefully

you can hear the distant russle of the top 100 media bigfoots bunching up their old story copy, tossing it in the wastebasket, scratching their heads, and mumbling, "Fuck, now what am I gonna to say?"

Mark down the date, Friday, September 24, 2004, the day this election turned.
