There isn't an ounce of doubt. John Kerry is the right man for the job.

I railed against Democrats for nominating John Kerry because he was more "electable" than Howard Dean. I was dismayed when his poll numbers and message were mired in the never-ending innuendo and negative "fact reporting" of the Republican campaign.

He pulled it off. John Kerry may not have the star-studded rhetoric and charisma of others, but his speech was pretty damn great. And I can honestly say that Howard Dean couldn't have appeared more Presidential than John Kerry did tonight.

Way to go, Senator Kerry. You nailed it.

Bill Clinton still inspires us.

For all of his faults, Bill Clinton does have the knack in telling us like it is.  I watched Chris Matthews' coverage on MSNBC, and for a political pundit, he sure threw his craft out of the window.  Clinton illustrated very stark differences between the administration and the Democrats, even though he framed it as Republicans and Democrats.  It's interesting to note that not all Republicans buy into the Bush template.

Matthews couldn't come up with any sort of intelligent comment, and even made Joe Scarborough seem scholarly by comparison.  What a buffoon!
