BOSTON - John Kerry (news - web sites), ferried across the harbor where a tea-dumping party ignited the American Revolution, vowed Wednesday to "write the great next chapter of history in this country" as he looked forward to receiving the Democratic nomination for president.


After campaigning his way through Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania this week, Kerry arrived in his hometown in time to catch running mate John Edwards (news - web sites) test his courtroom-honed Southern charm in a prime-time speech Wednesday night to convention delegates and a national TV audience.


As the party's choice for vice president, Edwards will "be talking both about the big themes of this campaign and optimism searching for a better tomorrow that this nation has always represented," his wife, Elizabeth, said Wednesday on CBS-TV's "The Early Show.


Aiming to infuse the Democrats' drive for the White House with youth and energy, Edwards will address delegates just before they begin the once-every-four-years roll call of states to make Kerry their White House nominee. The convention concludes Thursday night with Kerry's acceptance speech, one Democrats are counting on to boost his standing with voters.

5. Isn't he the one who arrived in Vietnam several months after Kerry left?

and can still speak "authoritatively" about Kerry as if he were there with him?

He no doubt will eventually be in Boston, only in keeping true to form, he'll arrive there several months after Kerry and the Democrats have left, still regurgitating anti-Kerry soundbites as if he were relevant.
