True. But I think he simply stumbled in his word choice between "pre-September 11th mentality" and "September 10th mentality". Do you know anyone who makes similar speaking errors? I do, and I love her very much.

I definetly think that Kerry did a better job. Bush did great at his convention, but I don't think that carried through.
I agree that Kerry is a more polished extemporaneous speaker, but in no way has he convinced me I should vote for him.

I'm not voting for either, though.
One of them is going to win (he stated categorically.) Does it really make no difference at all to you which one wins? If you vote for neither, you are, in essence, ceding your vote to someone who disagrees with you.
