lgf: Kerry Sags, Rants Tiredly. Seems about right to me. After a week full of susbtantial charges brought against Kerry during the convention, Kerry went on and defended himself by referring to Cheney's deferments and Kerry's tours in Vietnam. I couldn't believe that after all that he was responding by focusing on his Vietnam service. I think his speech was ultimately very destructive for him and must have rang hollow for all but his most partisan supporters.
Update: Good commentary at Power Line.
Update: "Doesn't Kerry have advisers to tell him not to give poorly prepared speeches that project desperation?" Heh (via IP)
Update: "What a momentous referendum November 2 will be." Indeed (via the same IP post as immediately above).
Update: I thought right away while watching Kerry's speech that it was a disaster for him. PoliPundit calls Kerry's strategy lunacy, and reminds me of Kerry's line, "RNC means Really Not Compassionate". Lame!
