:kick:

[NightOwwl]

2. I want to hear attacks on Bush.

Anyone else?

[jean]

3. Kerry is coming on strong - W is wrong theme throughout!

[Dr Fate]

4. Kerry on FIRE. Keep it up John!!! We need YOU to lead the fight!

If he keeps this up, he is in.

I REALLY needed this fighting inspiration- Keep it UP, JFK!!!

[jbm]

5. WOW!!!

This is GREAT!!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

6. It's funny, Kerry's talking about Bush and someone in the front row

keeps shouting: "He's a liar".... he finally got Kerry to bust out laughing...

[abrock]

8. This is not live, by the way.

This is in OH I believe, I watched it about 5 hours ago and I think it was not even live then.

Great speech though, but Kerry does need to be careful about 'sputtering' when he forgets how he's going to finish his point. He needs to hit each point precisely and STOP -- Don't continue with superfluous words. Let the important words sink in.

11. n/t

[cheshire]

18. Don't forget everyone loves * because he's so down to earth.

[Dr Fate]

7. Sounds like he has been watching LOTS of Clinton tapes...

I think he has been watching LOTS of Clinton tapes- cant you see it?

[shawmut]

12. YES! I Was just thinking the same thing

Was going to post it too. I can definitely hear and see Clinton in this speech.

[jean]

25. Yes! I thought the same - Kerry's speech was exciting to hear - - -

11 Presidents - have had to create jobs during wartime - - - what do you think Roosevelt did? What do you think Truman did? - named a few more, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon? George W Bush blames the war for job loss - Kerry says bush is the only president who isn't creating jobs during wartime because he doesn't know how to do it.

Like Bill - You're right! Kerry is using a Clintonesque manner of speech-giving. It's more intimate and allows him to have a conversation with the crowd while giving a policy speech. Very inclusive.

"That's W" - I'm waiting for Kerry to get more comfortable with this new "that's W," phrase. He seems a little stiff delivering that one for now. I think it'll sound good if he can raise his voice a little or change his tone of voice a little - while shaking his head softly while saying it - then enumerate his points.

"Idear" - I heard him say 'idear' the other day and cringed. (I'm a tolerant Minnesotan, for reference) He used the word 'idea' many times in this speech - and it sounds like he has toned down the 'r' at the end of the word. Good.

[cheshire]

9. He know's the Fool me saying too.

[jean]

26. you reminded me - Kerry used "fool me once, shame on you,

fool me twice, shame on me," referring to bush bait and switch (Kerry didn't use those terms though)

I thought it was interesting Kerry used that shame phrase, since it's become known as bush's misspeak, in F9/11.

[frank frankly]

10. It is HIS BEST SPEECH YET

i love him talking about Bush's secret Energy Policy!

he is fantastic!

[Skip Intro]

17. I agree

More!

[TheDonkey]

13. he's on fire. Kerry is not about to give up

and the bushies are probably soiling themselves.

[AP]

14. Kerry is kicking ass.

This is a great speech.

[frank frankly]

15. riveting

he is going to win.

[jbm]

16. I think he's got it..

and he's the right man for the job.

[TheDonkey]

19. the meet and greet with the little kids is melting my heart

you can clearly see JK is loving meeting them all.

[Chichiri]

20. Are any of his speeches this weekend archived online anywhere? (n/t)

[TheDonkey]

24. If not at johnkerry.com, maybe c-span?

I'm always bad at searching the sites for movies myself.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

21. They've got the sound up in the crowd

wow, that babble of voices must go on practically all day for Kerry....

[goodwalt]

22. Looking Good

I just caught the tail end of it on C-span, but from what I saw it was a marked improvement. Agree with earlier posts that he seemed almost Clinton-esque.

[shawmut]

23. it will be on again at 1:50am EST/10:50pm PDT if you missed it n/t

[irancontra]

27. it was

excellent! the response was amazing. I'm feeling very good about this campaign again. Kerry is letting loose and Edwards is a frickin' rockstar, the way he works his crowds...

8 more weeks! 8 more weeks!
