Who remembers "Kerry's a closer" ?

[TexasSissy]

That's what Dean said. And I believed it, for the most part (I had moments - okay, days - of doubt).

But NOW we have seen it. It's remarkable. Kerry has ever so gradually become stronger and stronger in the game. Edging upward and upward, with some backward slides.

Is it possible that it's not that HE is a strong closer so much as it's the people just getting to know him better and realize how informed and presidential he is? That the first impression of him is not who he really is?

We have a ways to go yet. Two more weeks, and a lot can happen. But damn, this man deserves to be President, and he SHOULD be. We'd be lucky to get him. WE MUST WIN!

3. Yep, he's Big John and Shrub knows it now.

Anybody old enough to remember this song:

Big Bad John

(Big John, Big John)
Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip...to Big John.
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)


Betcha Shrub heard it loud and clear last night. heh, heh, heh

5. Kerry will be a legend for pulling this thing off

Something akin to Daniel Webster or the guy in Charlie Daniels corny song.

17. The Devil went down to Georgia?

There's the seed of an interesting idea there.

6. Me! I remember it well.

It seems to be Kerry's MO throughout his life..I think when weld was running against him for Senator..it was brought up also what a great closer Kerry was.

And now look at what is happening..it's surreal.

7. i predict he's saving the best for last

9. I remember what THK said

Teresa said that Kerry wears on people like a fine wine. At first glance, they maybe look away because it is too Brahmin, elitist, or refined. With time, however, they begin to understand the value of his complexities and other things that make people want to buy into him as a public figure.

11. But, most importantly, What are each and everyone of us going to do

to help this great man? He may be great, but he is still only one man. So what's everyone doing?

12. I mentioned the 'closer' trait numerous times in countering the

chicken little threads after the RNC. Why waste your thunder? Save it for when it will have the most staying power...

13. A couple of things are breaking in favor

of regime change in Washington in three weeks. The flu shot debacle is an unexploited issue. Anyone talked to an elderly person about this? GM's grim quarter is sending a shudder through the industrial midwest tonight. Time for change.

15. The market may be in for a nasty October tumble too.

That would be kind of unfortunate for the chimp.

20. I've watched Kerry debate since he started running for public office

He was a good Lt. governer and one excellent attorney general. He is own a whole different level than Bush, bush knows that and now thanks to these debates the american people know as well. they understand that Kerry isn't the cartoon that the GOP has painted him as, now actually Bush looks like a cartoon and not just to us.
