Another look at Kerry at Portland rally

http://www.wweek.com/story.php?story=5422

John Kerry is almost supernaturally fit for the role of President.

From the moment his navy-blue campaign bus arrived, Kerry, who's been blasted for being self-absorbed, was perfectly self-possessed--as if this were no less natural to him than blinking. With the crowd in a screaming frenzy, Kerry's calmly assured demeanor met its high expectations.

Kerry didn't falter once, undistracted by the sharpshooters on the building tops, the white-tuxedoed waiters in the press tent, the MTV News correspondents in their key-lime shirts, the hundreds of volunteers passing out water bottles, the national press pool rushing in with laptops and cell phones, or the fifty thousand people who waited for hours under the white sun to hear a stock speech.

:toast:

That was an interesting perspective, and well written. Thank you for posting it. Kerry's presence in front of crowds is truly impressive. Actually his whole demeanor is at all times presidential. He really bowls me over. I always liked him and John Edwards, but they have so exceeded my expectations. It's a great ticket!!!! If they don't win, it will be a horrible loss for this country.

With the hopes of millions on his back, after a 3,500-mile campaign tour, this exhausted 60-year-old man could--by sheer presence alone--make people believe he could put their country back on track.

i love it
