I told you so...

And frankly, I don't mind saying so at all. While I'm sympathetic to the idea of Anybody But Bush, the realitiy is that we had to pick somebody, and I've been convinced all along that the best choice was clear. John Kerry is not only the very best candidate we could put forward this year, but the one with the prospect of being a great American President. The greatest of my lifetime, better than any of the 11 that have passed by during that time.

After his home run speech in Boston, a lot of folks are starting to agree that might have had some reservations before. I think Jesse Berney's post at Kicking Ass speaks for many of them, and is worth your attention.

Some snippets...

We've all been ready to take the fight to George W. Bush and the Republicans for three years. But after last night — after that incredible home run of a speech laying out his vision — we are even more excited about putting John Kerry in the White House than we are about kicking Bush out.

How can we not be excited about John Kerry? Look at his life...

How can we not be excited about John Kerry? Listen to the words of those who love him...

John Kerry is going to be the next president of the United States. We will win this election. What we learned in the last four days is that when he takes office, he will be one of the great ones.

Some of us knew that long before those four days came and went, but it's sure nice to see more folks coming to know it now.

I'm really liking this whole unity thing...
