Oh and for all of you bashing Kerry speach.....

(CNN) -- Coming into Thursday, John Kerry knew what he had to do.

And if he didn't hit a home run, he at least had a stand-up triple -- or a 25-point game if you're a basketball fan, or a three-touchdown performance if you're into football. Kerry did what he needed to do.

The Massachusetts senator was confident and clear. He sounded out ideas on a number of key issues -- among them, that he won't raise taxes for individuals with incomes below $200,000, that he would increase the number of troops, that he'd spend more on education.


Seems like some people liked it.....
