Kerry to Bush: 'We're coming, you're going'

From Wire Reports
DES MOINES, Iowa – John Kerry's voice was so hoarse when he woke at 4:45 a.m. Monday that he sent stand-ins to three get-out-the-vote rallies.
But by late afternoon he hopped back on his campaign bus, the Real Deal Express, saying he wanted to see undecided Iowa caucusgoers one last time to "fight for every vote."
Those four words became the Massachusetts senator's political vow in the final weeks before the nation's first presidential caucuses – which Mr. Kerry won easily over his Democratic rivals. At a jubilant victory party, he took aim at the Bush administration and special interests.
"We're coming, you're going, and don't let the door hit you on the way out," he said.
Just two months ago, his presidential bid was in turmoil. He fired his campaign manager but denied it was a sign of distress.
Over the course of a few weeks, his style dramatically changed from appearing aloof and lecturing toward an attitude of displaying a willingness to listen.
In speeches, at town hall meetings and even on the elevator, he asked voters to "test him," "to look into his soul," and to "ask as many questions as it takes" to turn them into committed Kerry backers.
Monday night, as he greeted voters entering Urbandale High School, he stuck to his polite, direct appeals for support.
"I need your help tonight," he told an elderly woman in a knit sweater.
His campaign overhall coincided with growing concerns among some caucusgoers over Howard Dean.
He told a young man wearing a "Dean for America" T-shirt, "I guess I can't get your" vote.
"Well, once you get there, I'll support you over Bush," the man replied.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, who campaigned for Mr. Kerry, called his win "an extraordinary upset" that – using favorite Kerry line – "marks the beginning of the end of the Bush presidency."
"We love Iowa," he said. "Iowa voters found John had the leadership quality, the strength, the trustworthiness, the steeliness, to address the concerns of ordinary, average people, and to offer a vision for the country."
Max Cleland was another Vietnam vet who thought his medals could inoculate him from opposing the war on terror. It didn't help him - and he didn't do any of the crazy stuff Kerry did after the war.

You are correct .. Kerry did odd things and said many unbelievable comments ... and now he is wraping himself around the flag for his service during the war
