"He's shown us, starting as a young man, that by facing America's hard truths, both the good and the bad, that's where we find a deeper patriotism. That's where we find the power that is embedded only in truth to make our world a better and safer place."
- Bruce Springsteen, speaking of John Kerry in Madison, Wisconsin

Memo to Kerry: Don't let Osama steal your thunder
"Keep going after Bush, the way the president should have pursued bin Laden at Tora Bora.
Kerry has to help Americans face yet another hard truth: That we're led by a president who has mired us in nightmarish war and doesn't know how to make us safer. And before the ruthless and desperate Bush campaign can use the bin Laden tape to sow more panic among the American people -- the only way it can scratch out a victory on Tuesday -- Kerry must use the sinister video as one more exhibit in the case he has been forcefully making for Bush's incompetence."

The best comment I've seen on Osama's comeback is from an unexpected source - Charles Kennedy, leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats/British Parliament:
"The democratic process is the surest way to defeat this terrorist."
