Ken, I watched the convention on C-SPAN like you did. It seems the other networks cut out Kerry's speech and thought that their analysts had things to say that they thought were more interesting than what Kerry said. The following excerpts from Kerry's speech were very good.
==================================

"....I say, let’s compare Senator McCain to candidate McCain.

Candidate McCain now supports the wartime tax cuts that Senator McCain once denounced as immoral. Candidate McCain criticizes Senator McCain’s own climate change bill. Candidate McCain says he would now vote against the immigration bill that Senator McCain wrote. Are you kidding? Talk about being for it before you’re against it...."

George Bush called it “the soft comfort of appeasement.” But today, Bush’s diplomats are doing exactly what Obama said: talking with Iran."
