A long time friend wrote a Diary about JK's speech

[ray of light]

yesterday. The diarist has known JK for 38 years. The diary is extremely moving and nearly brought me to tears on these sections:

But this speech today was bold, interesting, and threw off the shackles of '04 - you can see and hear it from the audience response - and an absolute shot across the bow to the Democratic party establishment that took the 2006 congressional and senate victory and turned it into mud.

This is the John Kerry I once knew, when his daughters (now adults) were something like 3 and 5 years old, and I was 22. That guy on stage today, would have won the last presidential election by a landslide. And yes, there's disappointment at what happened. But there's also that reality that redemption is available to all, and on this day, of 2008, John F. Kerry not only redeemed, but he may have changed the history of the United States of America. Again.
