I can't help but really like Kerry's speaking style...

[Bread and Circus]

Damn that guy just delivers so well.

[onehandle]

1. It's been said before...

He has the most Presidential presence of all the Dems.

[mb7588a]

2. He's got some kinda mix of jfk, mlk and fdr...

I agree.

It's been a long time since our country has had a beautifully spoken President.

[bornskeptic]

22. I see a little Harry Truman in him too,

and he just keeps getting better and better.

[scheming daemons]

3. You're joking, right?

I'm completely underwhelmed by Kerry's speech..

How anybody can watch Edwards' speech, then watch this one, and then NOT be for Edwards over Kerry is beyond me.

Kerry is as dry as day-old toast.

Man... we were spoiled by Clinton, I guess.

[LiberalTexan]

4. Yup, he's got a certain je ne......

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[BruinAlum]

5. He's looking good!

[JI7]

6. so do i, so full of substance

i love it.

[LZ1234]

7. I'm a Clark supporter but...

I do like the way Kerry speaks. He has a Rod Sterling voice. Also, he is articulate and says things with certainty and authority.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Awesome speech---all substance--exactly why he's not a flash in the pan

[Clark Can WIN]

9. I wish I could agree with you........ I really do

I find myself digging through the fridge for some caffeine.

[lovedems]

13. Yes, me to.

My only and I mean only issue with Kerry is the silly little slogans I hear.

I don't have cable so everytime I turn on the tv it is something like "like father,like son, you do one term and then your done" It just gets old after awhile. I admit it is catchy, it just gets annoying after awhile.

[killbotfactory]

10. If boring. uninspiriing platitudes. and empty slogans about...

needed less slogans, delivered in droning monotone is your thing, then more power to you.

[mb7588a]

11. I love that "Ashcroft" line...

He just PUNCHES it.

[rumguy]

12. I like it too - very pointed, direct, and presidential

[rumguy]

14. Bring it on!!!!

He's not afraid of BushCo...

[Egnever]

15. I am starting to think I have reached the twilight zone

:eyes:

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

16. mm.. monotone

I agree that Kerry's got some great lines--the one about aircraft carriers, the one about hurting millions of people while cutting taxes for millionnaires.. they're great. But he just doesn't have the right kind of emotion in it. He's not like Edwards who brings people into the stump speech and want to listen to it. Looks Presidential, can sound that way sometimes, but Kerry's too monotone, IMHO.

[wheresthemind]

17. It's so deep, so eloquent it will make Bush sound like a....

shrill moran!

[TheDonkey]

18. Kerry needs to use his one-liners again!!

JK used to have the best cracks at Bush and some real good jokes but doesn't use them anymore. They were really funny and loosened his longer speeches up.

I'm a JK supporter but his speeches DO need cut down in legnth and he needs to make them more exciting and interesting. Adding more jokes and audience usage would work.

Still a GREAT speaker. I like his style better than Edwards who seems to make goofy smirking faces a lot and just focuses on stories and not policies (this isn't a closing argument!).

[KittyWampus]

19. Are You Serious?

Kerry's drone makes me want to scream.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

20. I thought he looked tired tonight.

Good speech though, with the Lewis and Clark theme

[hedgetrimmer]

21. Back the hump off!

I do not care how well he can speak, he's putting the horns to you while he sweet talks you ... if you liked to get humped that way, good for you.
