Kerry Throws Us Red Meat- Rush Limbaugh Vetoed McCain's Choices For VP (Ridge, Lieberman)
KERRY: What John McCain has proven with this choice -- this is very important, George. John McCain wanted to choose Tom Ridge. He wanted to choose Joe Lieberman. He wanted to choose another candidate, but you know what? Rush Limbaugh and the right wing vetoed it.

And John McCain was forced to come back and pick a sort of Cheney-esque social conservative who’s going to satisfy the base.

What John McCain has proven with this choice is that John McCain is the prisoner of the right wing, not a maverick.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Kerry, I’m afraid that’s all we have time for today. Thank you very much for your time.

6. Kerry's speech was magnificent as well
as any of the Superstars in the Dem party. He's another one who learns from the past and is not stuck in it.

7. 5 million Rush listeners go "cool" 50 million American voters go "WTF?"
If McCain weren't such a malevolent zombie I'd feel sorry for him.

8. He is a "prisoner" of the same influences that Bush was hostage to.
Not good.

Nice statement by my President. ;)
