John Kerry's Speech

There were passages toward the end when he . . . seemed to do better. But it was a B - performance, not as disastrous as Al Gore's rant in 2000, but nowhere near the level of the best. . . . Even Dole was better eight years ago. Some of it was so pompous and self-congratulatory I almost gagged.

Andrew Sullivan, andrewsullivan.com

It was, oddly, a military speech aimed at not using the military. . . . There was nothing to hate in the speech, nothing to love.

Jeff Jarvis, buzzmachine.com

Well, that speech certainly reminded me why I'm not voting for John Kerry. Contrary to much of the rest of the convention, it was a red-meat speech, complete with "Bush lied" rhetoric, pharmaceutical-company bashing, xenophobic talk about outsourcing, and a promise to make health care "a right." . . . the speech was mostly made up of (in Kerry's anti-GOP words) "narrow appeals masquerading as values." Better a tongue-tied president than a demagogue.
