An amazingly written speech that was delivered well. I loved what was said, but Kerry just couldn't deliver a home run.
That being said, it was better than I had really hoped it would be. In fact, even Pat Buchanan loved the speech. Kerry needed to slow things down and let the crowd take control and if he had (which is something he has problems doing) this could have been one of the best acceptance speeches ever. It was clearly an A+ speech , but I would give Kerry a B+/A- delivery.
I truly believe that the debates will have a profound effect on this election. My concern is that Kerry is considered a top notch debater so he will be presumed to win, but in reality Bush has an amazing ability to connect with people and even if he puts forth an average performance, it may be considered a victory for him.
