CHARLOTTE, N.C.--Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), whose 2004 presidential candidacy was wounded by accusations of being a flip flopper--for it before he was against it--got even on Thursday in a rip roaring convention speech where he excoriated Mitt Romney as a foreign policy lightweight.

Kerry, a foreign policy specialist--a possible Secretary of State in a second Obama term--said Romney has had so many positions on intervening in Libya..."talk about being for it before you were against it."
