Have you ever been more proud of Kerry?
Over the past two weeks or so, since Kerry decided to take the gloves off, I have been buoyed by his "fighting mood." He is taking the fight to the president by speaking the truth. I sense a restrained wrecklessness (an oxy-moron if there ever was one) that has really fired up Kerry supporters and seems to have had the same recursive effect on the candidate. I am very proud of him! I also have been sleeping a lot better with the knowledge that we Democrats now have a champion for our causes and outlooks.

2. Very proud. He got Bush square on the jaw a couple of times this
morning and more important than that, he is addressing the real issues behind terrorism and the fight against it.

3. Well...yes, slightly...but it was at the convention
It was tough to top how I felt the moment he took the stage and throughout his speech.

This has not, however, diminished his esteem in my eyes since then.

4. I 'm thrilled with the way the campaign has improved, and I am
enormously proud of Kerry. As a devout Clark supporter, I became truly supportive of Kerry during the convention and have loved him ever since. T

When the Swift Boat filth came along, it made me love him even more - because although he was damaged by their sludge, the truth won out and it didn't destroy him as they hoped to do. Even the mainstream press knew and acknowledged that the facts supported Kerry's account of events.

This week the campaign took a turn for the better. The 'closer' has emerged.

5. Kerry
I have always been proud and respected Kerry

He did not want to be like them,
But now he might realize he has to step in the ring full of mud
and fight like they do
The debates will be the key!!!

7. He does come across like a senior statesman.
Very presidential. Especially compared to Chimpy.

11. Yes, in 1971 (well, retroactively, as I was born in '75).
He was at his bravest and most courageously honest then. His testimony made me cry.

I wish we had that Kerry today!
