1. that is the best i have ever heard him

usually he talks too much about things & get entangled . this was clean and to the point ! bravo sen. kerry-- would have been a good president :):)

2. I think that nearly every appearance

since 2004 has been extremely clear, strong and very much to the point. Some issues do require explanation, but I can't think of anyone who has been better - especially this last year.

I am surprised that so many people write essentially what you wrote after each strong appearance. His speech at the 2008 convention that he wrote and which the Obama people did not vet because they trust him was the best speech at that convention (other than Obama's).

8. it's because i haven't really listened to him since 2004-- my bad!

[karynnj]

12. No - not bad, not bad at all

You were for him in Nov 2004 when it counted and see he is an asset to Obama and the party now. I think the huge disappointment in 2004 made it hard for many to see him afterwards. Had he not made the race so close, it could have been more like 1984 when I know I wanted Mondale to win, but I knew well before election day it wasn't going to happen.

16. it tore me apart. i hated what bush was doing

& i felt so frustrated most times i heard him speak back then ...i am so thankful that he has honed his speaking so well :):)

3. Whoa - you go, John! Took him 22 hours to "rush" to DC to address the

crisis -- a one hour flight. Kerry was superb!

[Hope And Change]

4. Bravo Kerry!Well said!K & R!

[patomime]

7. right on Senator Kerry.

mc cain was just covering his own a$$.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. Exactly. This is exactly McCain and all his foolish nonsense of last week.

[Sorceress]

14. Kerry broke that down!!! Great response!

Thanks for posting the clip. This is a great site!!!

[Bette Noir]

10. Why isn't this man President?

Oh. Yeah.

[karynnj]

13. 9/11 and a terrified electorate, not yet able to hope (n/t)

[Kerrytravelers]

15. He will be. November is just around the corner and January is coming!

:toast: :bounce: :party: :woohoo:

[JBoy]

11. McCain / Palin = Drama Queen / Beauty Queen

[trthnd4jstc]

17. Kerry is right. n/t

[kwolf68]

19. He usually is.

It's a damn fooking shame this man is not our President.

[Plucketeer]

20. I wholeheartedly agree!

I was SICK that his run for the White House was not realized in the end. For my money - NO ONE speaks with more clarity and honesty than Kerry.

[iheartmulletz]

18. He has been on fire recently and I welcome his support!

The timing really couldn't be better. I was wondering about Obama's possible surrogates (like the Clintons), but Kerry and Clair McCaskill (spelling?) have been superb.

[crazylpn]

21. Whoa!! Way to go, John Kerry!!

I voted for Kerry and he should've won, but those damn dirty republicans cheated!! God damn the evil fuckers!!!! I absolutely hate republicans!!!!!

[stoge18]

22. Well done, John

Thanks for doing this. Puts it all into perspective in less than 1 minute, 30 seconds. Hell, I could have run from NYC to DC in 22 hours and still done more than McGrumpy did when he got there.

Here's what frightens me: how far is he willing to go to win? I've seen very, very little 527 activity up to this point. Could get extemely ugly very soon.
