Kerry Iraq Speech Has His Camp in 'Fighting Mood'

[Bdog]

By Patricia Wilson
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Reuters) - One speech may not a campaign make, but John Kerry and his top advisers are pumped up and in "a fighting mood" after the Democratic candidate's aggressive attack on President Bush's handling of Iraq.

The Massachusetts senator, lagging in opinion polls six weeks before the Nov. 2 election, seems to have kicked a habit of pulling his punches at the last minute and showed a new willingness to mix it up with his Republican rival.

From a scathing address detailing Bush's "arrogance and outright incompetence" on Iraq, to a Democratic fund-raiser and on to a morning television talk show where he charged that the president was "in denial," Kerry seems to have found a new lease on political life.
