Is it me, or is Al talking really fast?

[npincus]

I wish he would slow it down....

[undeterred]

1. He's talking really fast.

[Olney Blue]

2. Are they behind schedule?

[TexasLady]

3. yes he is.

:shrug:

[madeline_con]

4. Too much caffeine in the green room? n/t

[valerief]

5. He probably wants to get out his points before the asshat networks

cut to commercial or asshat censorship commentary.

[TexasLady]

9. I believe that! n/t

[AlCzervik]

6. I hear fast so it works for me.

[sandnsea]

7. I think it's just what he needed

That other kindergarten teacher cadence was annoying. This is much easier to listen to.

[high density]

8. Better than too slow IMO

The pace is fine for me.

[travelingtypist]

10. His speaking style used to drive me nuts.

It was like he was talking down to people. This is probably his normal tone.

[Hamlette]

11. have you been drinking? too

I don't think its too fast but I have some catching up to do

Hamlette +2

[Phoonzang]

12. Yep. I am not impressed.

[Phoonzang]

19. I take that back. Finally someone mentioned the SC and abortion.

[nam78_two]

13. I think it is a really nice, snappy pace-perfect imo.nt

[givemebackmycountry]

14. He's fine - chill out

THIS IS THE HAMMER
we've been waiting for.

WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PUT AL GORE ON A CLOCK?


Chill...

It's all good.

[TexasLady]

18. He sure works for me!!

literally! GO GORE!!

[spanone]

15. he's got a lot of republicans to slime.....

[apnu]

21. To quote Andrew Dice Clay...

"So many assholes, not enough bullets." -- Ford Fairlane.

[create.peace]

16. so much info, SO LITTLE TIME

I wish there had been more talk of the multiple crises he is addressing in others' speeches. I know there were some, but we need to do more as citizens, and these are the folks with the mics.

[RayOfHope]

17. He has a lot of important things to say! Sounds fine to me n/t

[AbbeyRoad]

20. It's not just you

He's talking pretty fast.

[BlooInBloo]

22. He's something you don't see too much in America: A person who can speak in complete sentences...

Obama's another example.

[Duppers]

23. they've given him too little time

Ck. the schedule here:

[jenmito]

24. He doesn't allow people to applaud. But finally SOMEONE mentioned Roe v Wade in prime time!

So many women think McCain is pro-choice!

[DianaForRussFeingold]

25. Many Inconvenient Truths To tell!

:patriot:

[THUNDER HANDS]

26. i have the ability to judge how fast someone talks by words per minute

based on my job as someone who takes down what people say for a living.

Gore is speaking about 200 words a minute.

The average person, in conversation, speaks about 150.

[npincus]

27. you're good!

I think slowing it down and adding empahsis selectively would have been more impactful. I found the speed a bit diestracting!

[musicblind]

28. I think he sounds GREAT

I wish we had this Gore in 2000 :) and am so glad we have him now!

[1corona4u]

29. YES, I just commented on that too...

too many topics, too fast...people will only remember a few things he said...
