That trial balloon went over like a lead zeppelin

Kerry to accept nomination at convention

Republicans mocked Kerry, saying only the Democratic candidate could be both in favor of the nomination and against it.

Hypothetical question: just because J. Francois says he will accept the nomination, could he – after four days of network coverage – still postpone it for a month? Not that I don’t trust him!

Update: Kerry rules out delaying tactic – “I made that decision because I believe it's the right thing to do.”

Translation: The pollsters and focus groups said I was acting like a tool.
