  Kerry's speech was the speech of the century. It was absolutely fucking amazing. And pundits agree. The only people who would vote Bush now are those that are already die hard republicans or those that did not listen to it. I was listening to glowing reviews of it all over the place, including some Republicans on PBS. Whenever I listen to a speech, I sometimes imagine myself as the speech giver and try to think of how it was formulated to help further my abilities. This speech was THE BEST speech I have heard in my life. It wasn't JUST the speech though...it was the buildup TOWARDS the speech with the help pf his daughters and fellow Vietnam soldiers. How he engineered this I don't think I will understand without a few more years of school...and I consider myself highly adept when it comes to these sorts of things.
Listening to it over again on C-Span I'm still as spellbounded as I was before. I have a habit of comparing myself with people and speeches I hear. I often like to speculate to whether I can reach a person's talent by the time I get to be their age. Normally I say I probably could with more schooling...but this was absolutely amazing. I seriously doubt I will ever hear a speech like that again for a LONG time.
