So, this is the biggie. Not Kerry's voting record in the Senate, not Kerry's vision for America, not Kerry's superior oratorical skills (based on the two convention speeches head-to-head, where Bush's was clearly better and more thoughtfully written and much better delivered), nor even Kerry's greater gravitas as a political figure. The common thread seems to be events under partial, and sometimes minimal, control of the administration. Try this: vote for Kerry for what he has done, for who he is, for what you think he will do, and for the anticipation of him giving speeches to the American people over the next 4 years (snore!) and representing the greatest superpower in the world to our allies and enemies. Good grief. What makes him think he could be president? What makes you think that?
