I like that he can speak well, in ways that connect to and with people, rather than divide them. I was very impressed with both his and his veep candidate's speeches at the DNC. We need a representative of this nation who can not only speak well but speak to more than just their preferred portion of the voting public. And he does so this very well.

Well, to tell the truth, despite claims of him as a crazy Massachusetts$@#liberal, I don't consider him liberal enough... there are a few issues I consider very important that I don't think he takes a stand on enough, among them gay marriage.
I very much dislike the way this country is moving right now... economically, politically... even a moderate would be good right now. I consider George W. Bush neither compassionate nor conservative. John Kerry, in my view, is moderately liberal, if that makes any sense.

Very good. Not only is he good at creating speeches (or at least his speechwriters are, if he has any at this point), he is very good at delivering them.

Most of 'em, although in many cases (see above) I don't think he has expounded upon or taken enough of a stand on certain issues I consider very important.

Like Erin, although I wasn't going to mention it, I am also for Anybody But Bush. As I've written in previous posts in other threads, I cannot with any conscience vote for George W. Bush, so Kerry it is, despite some of the issues he doesn't address.
Endcap: I'm not trying to start a flame war here, just explaining what I think of him. He's got my vote, at any rate.
