Certainly turning the election into a referendum on Bush is understandable, and probably the best strategy, but it doesn't say much for Kerry to start with a prime time speech essentially saying Bush must go for someone else. Nader, perhaps?

I thought the point of the speech was to dispell that 2000 notion that there was no differences between the parties (i.e., there is no need to vote for Nader, because the world would have been a vastly different place under the DEMs than what it has become under Bush). The second half of the speech was positive, pro-Kerry.
