NO ENDORSEMENT, NO HINT
Clinton did not endorse any of the candidates, nor did she drop hints about which one she prefers to win the nomination. And her speech was notably lacking in the self-deprecating humor that she often includes in her prepared addresses.
The most rousing speakers were Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and the front-runner in the race, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
In his speech, Kerry mocked President Bush for posing on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS. Abraham Lincoln in front of a sign reading “Mission Accomplished.”
He “thought we wouldn’t notice that the troops are dying every day,” Kerry shouted.
Kerry contended that Bush “has shown that he does not have the experience to be commander-in-chief.”
He added, “If George Bush wants to make national security the issue in this campaign, I have three words for him that I know he will understand: Bring it on!” — a jibe at Bush for taunting Iraqi terrorists two months ago.
Kerry also offered a dig at Dean, whose candidacy has tapped rank-and-file Democrats’ ire at Bush and at congressional Democrats who supported him on the issues of tax cuts and the war in Iraq.
“We need to offer answers — not just anger,” Kerry declared.
North Carolina Sen. John Edwards also seemed to have Dean in mind when he said in his speech, “If we are the party of anger in 2004, we will not win.”
But Dean was unapologetic, continuing to denounce the Democratic leaders in Congress for not standing up to Bush on Iraq and on education policy...
Dean's speech leaves me wondering once again who will be running our country with Dean in office (so many things Dean says he will leave at the State level and now this) ...
“This election is not about electing Howard Dean president of the United States,” he said. “This election is about electing us president of the United States, we are all in this together.” ...
Does This mean WE can all move to the White House?
He told the crowd, “You have the power to take back this party and make it stand for something again!” — another dig at Gephardt and other congressional Democrats.
At the end of his speech, in a stentorian voice, Dean shouted the phrase “You have the power!” 14 times.
WE heard you the first time!
WE WANT "THE REAL DEAL" - JOHN KERRY HAS THE POWER TO BEAT BUSH!
Let me repeat myself, one more time:
