 David Alston: When the bullets began to hit the side of the boat -- boom, pow, pow, pow -- we found out that John Kerry can lead.

John Kerry (voiceover and to camera): There's a sense after Vietnam that every other day is extra, that you have to do what's right.

You know it's right to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy; to guarantee all Americans health care; and invest in our kids.  That's why I'm running for president.

David Alston: He wants better for America.

John Kerry (voiceover): I'm John Kerry and I approve this message.

David Alston: This man would make a great president.
