SUMMARY:
This commercial shows Kerry speaking directly to the camera. In perhaps an effort to retort GOP claims that his message is muddled, the four-term senator begins by insisting that, if elected, he would set "a few clear national priorities." He then outlines two of his main campaign themes -- "jobs and health care" -- and vows "to defend this country."
