Reply #24: Al also congratulated him on voting "no" on the lobbying bill

Kerry did sound a little somber. I liked his little comment that he wished more people would have watched the debates before voting - after Al said he won them hands downs. He then asked about the question on the biggest security threat - Kerry explained his answer and said Bush just agreed. I suspect that Al set this up so that Kerry could make the point that even in 2004, the Republican had to "copy" to answer the question - kind of answers who had the answers on security in 2004.

The biggest surprise was how much applause Kerry got for almost everything he said and when he was announced. (To my ears, listening while driving - more even than Boxer.) I loved Kerry's quick acknowlegement that that is where the Repubnlicans would start the debate - when Al said that the Republicans would say that medicaid wasn't in the Bible.
