A brief perusal of the traditional media outlets, yields some really fascinating responses.
WaPo: Missed Opportunity
WaPo: Kerry Still Needs to Connect to Voters
USA Today: Kerry vows to defend country, restore credibility to White House - this one's pretty much just straight coverage, at least at first glance.
UPI: Kerry promises strength and values - Fairly favorable reaction. A bit of a surprise coming from UPI.
AP via Guardian UK: Kerry Vows to Restore 'Trust, Credibility' - Apparently rather favorable impression of performance.
UPI via WashTimes: Kerry sets military tone to start speech
WaPo: A Swift, Stirring Race Against the Television Timer - Evidently this guy thought it was good except that Kerry got rushed. Interesting.
NYT: Democrats Vowing to Bring Allies Into Iraqi Fight - Roger Cohen swoons.
Salon: No retreat, no surrender - gets quite aroused by Kerry evidently.
AP via SF Chrnoicle: Top Republicans _ and a Democrat _ attack Kerry on his big night - fascinating lede for an SF paper to put out right now.
And evidently, there was a problem with the baloons that resulted in a gaffe that got broadcast on CNN. Oops.
And too all, a good night.
