it’s all about the boate

i missed the telecast of john kerry’s speech, but i just read it. i am going to spend some time this weekend going over his platform online. the man has a herculean task ahead of him, on several fronts. very very difficult decisions need to be made over the coming decade, and i am curious to see if at the very least the initial rhetoric looks as though he has some broad vision and framework for attacking things like the economy and foreign policy. he concluded his address with a metaphor that was sure to win my vote:
“That is the kind of America I will lead as President – an America where we are all in the same boat.”
