Kerry: Election Will Resonate Worldwide

By NEDRA PICKLER

DETROIT (AP) -- Democrat John Kerry said the choice in the presidential race will resonate around the world as he made an election-eve appeal to swing voters in Florida and the Midwest.

"We want independents, moderate Republicans, thinking people to help change the direction of our country," Kerry said at a rally in Joe Louis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings. Earlier, he told a rain-soaked crowd in Milwaukee that "the hopes of the whole world are on the line tomorrow."

"This president rushed to war without a plan to win the peace, and we need a commander in chief who knows how to get the job done," Kerry said.

Kerry's closing argument was that President Bush was responsible for lost jobs, a new deficit and a failed policy in Iraq. He said Bush had taken away the hope of the diseased and dying by limiting embryonic stem cell research and had done nothing to help uninsured people get health care.

I'm assured that Nedra is a right-wing shill, but this seems pretty straight up. Anyway, she waits about 6 paragraphs to get to how boring (she thinks) Kerry's been the past 5 weeks, which is an improvement. As far as the part that most Americans will read in the papers, it's a pretty upbeat piece.
