to get the swing. Because I thought it was pretty disconcerting how
much he talked about being tough on terror, growing the military,
"doubling the special forces to engage in terrorist...to engage in
anti-terrorist missions" (I chuckled at that gaff.), military record,
etc.
I understand why he is saying those things. And honestly, I agree that
they are probably needed right now. But, to me, it wasn't the voice of
moderation. It was the voice of the military right coming out of the
mouth of a Dem.
I will say though that it was really nice listening to a good orator.
One of my benchmarks for President is that the guy is smarter than
your average Joe, and Kerry obviously is. Intellegence means that
while I may not agree with him, I can at least respect his decisions.
After his speech, I have to say that he's a much better contender than
Dean would have been. And better than his acceptance speech was his
interview with Peter Jennings. Where the speech is, by necessity,
impassioned, his demeanor when in a smaller setting was much more
relaxed, poised, and thoughtful.
