The '84 speech was hot, but no , idon't think it's that one. GEEZ, I GUESS I'LL FIND THE LINK TO THE SPEECH I BROUGHT UP, OMG
I think you make a good point, overall, regarding kerry's performance. We tend to talk about him like he was Wendell Wilkie, which just isn't the case. He did quite well in the debates, and btw, it was a damn close election. A few thousand votes change in Ohio and we have a different president. The guy got more popular votes that pretty much every other Dem. in the 20th Century other than FDR.
I think the problem is that Kerry didn't make you want to vote for him. People
did, but it was more of an Anybody But Bush sort of thing.
