Wizbang: Media Take on Kerry's Midnight Hissy Fit. "I'm not the only one who thought Kerry blew it the other night." Via IP. Kerry's "midnight speech" was a big mistake. I wrote some about it earlier.
Update: One of the things that struck me while watching Kerry's speech is what a contrast it made to Bush's. Bush's speech was well-prepared, and given in well-lit Madison Square Garden surrounded by thousands of cheering supporters, while Kerry's speech was in the dark, ill-prepared and without focus, and there seemed to be a few handfuls of people there. Bush spoke about grand visions of Liberty while Kerry whined.
What made the biggest difference though was the setting. Bush in the light and Kerry in the dark. It was jarring to go from watching Bush to watching Kerry. The whole thing was so foolish for Kerry to do.
