John Kerry

antidote to the stress of these final make or break weeks.

It also makes me think back to the fact that he won Iowa and NH by directly meeting people - imagine if the media had given him fair coverage in 2004. So, many - even Democrats never got to really know him. I just remember that he was unique in that the closer I watched and the more I learned, the more impressed I was - rather than the norm being that I started to see cracks in the hyped facade of the nominee.
