Kerry Was On Fire In Boston!!!
Not literally, of course! But he was really feeding off the crowd's energy. I've heard alot of the lines before, but never delivered with so much passion! The SC performance was excellent, but this was what I was looking for! I'm totally fired up myself!

<>

PS - Besides his "Americans are tired of getting trickled on" line, he also said that Bush will "kick your ass." I was a little surprised, but I loved it!

1. He sure was
I loved the Moses paraphrase about Bush kicking your ass stealing your camel and ruining this land of prosperity.
How do you get all those pics so fast?

9. They're Fantastic!
Much more exciting than standing in front of a tractor. And I love the way he "approves of" the message. I always thought that would come off awkwardly, but he does it nicely with a glint of humor.

11. Yea, no kidding. Today was a turning point in the campaign
Both in his forceful defense of his candidacy with Judy Woodruff, the story about the tear he shed upon hearing from a NH woman about her hardships and the speech in Boston.

15. Yep...and there was some talk
going around by SC Dem party leaders.

Did you notice that Inez Tenenbaum's spouse was introduced? There is a very big reason why many serious contenders for the Senate and congress want Kerry on the top of the ticket. Internal polling in SC shows that their numbers go up with Kerry at the top.

24. I Can't Believe They Repeat The Edward Muskie Spin!
How has Kerry crying at someone's hardship and broken dreams "evoked" thoughts of Muskie crying over personal attacks on his wife? This coming from a media that always insists that Kerry is "out of touch" with the realities of the working class. How many tears has Clinton shed for other people's pain?

:grr:

23. Look around the crowds in the videos
And you will also see it was a far more tonal crowd than the crowds of another candidate.

25. Why don't you just call Dean a racist?
That's what you imply every fricking time.

26. Is That What Tonal Meant?
I thought it meant vocal, as in loud.

PS - I doubt that Dean is a racist. In fact, I'm sure of it. But that doesn't negate concerns that he might not appeal to Blacks.
