<DIV> Paul Glastris:  "Instead, I think the biggest mistake so far has been that Kerry gave a convention speech with virtually no policy specifics. I know, I know, people say that’s boring; you don’t want a speech to go on and on, laundry-list-like; the most important thing was to introduce himself and his larger themes, etc. But the fact is that you came away from that speech with little concrete idea of what Kerry will do if he is elected president. The policies are <A href="http://www.johnkerry.com/index.html">there</A>, and a number of them—in healthcare and <A href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2004/0407.schorr">education</A>, for instance--are quite bold and promising. And Kerry does talk about them on the stump. But in the one moment this entire summer when he had the American public’s attention, he and his staff chose not to give over even five minutes to a discussion of his specific agenda. The consequence of that decision can be seen in LA Times poll." <A href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2004_08/004575.php">http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2004_08/004575.php</A>  </DIV> <hr size=1>Do you Yahoo!?
