Grumbling in the Ranks

Thomas Oliphant [1], at the Boston Globe:

“Kerry essentially blew an opportunity ”

Blogger This Liberal

“All in all, Kerry didn’t do what he needed to. He is still likely get a bounce, but it’ll be gone fast.”

Newly Minted Liberal Andrew Sullivan:

“…what an arrogant jerk.”

The New Republic’s Larry Kaplan [2], basicly fisks the entire speech, as well as Kerry himself.

I’ve gone over hundreds of leftist reactions, and they all end up basicly the same; Kerry fell well short of their expectations. The conclusion is inescapable… the Democrats coming away from their convention are more divided now than 4 days ago when the convention kicked off.

The sense of gloom and doom on that side of the street is palpable.
