I admit I’ve gotten apathetic about John Kerry. His platform represents so little real change in economic and social areas like health care and gay rights. But in the first Presidential Debate, Kerry displayed leadership, strength, composure and focus all exaggerated by the dullness of Bush. I’m certain if someone unfamiliar with world affairs had tuned in last night they would have guessed that Kerry not Bush was President of the United States. While Bush squirmed, Kerry remained calm and attentive. His coherence and style inspired confidence in his ability to lead this country back to a place as a strong and respected member of the world community.
