Note these are just late night, its time for bed, apolitical observations.
I think there is a strange difference with Kerry and Bush.
Kerry is an excellent public speaker, he can get windy but when he wants to get to the point he can do so quite well. He comes across as intelligent, and seems like a nice enough guy.
Bush obviously is pretty horrible at it (for a public figure).
On the other hand I've read/heard/seen Kerry is pretty god awful at the 1-1 communication. He doesn't relate well to other people and comes across as a jerk.
Bush seems very personable and able to relate to people. Most that meet him in person seem impressed and like him.
Clinton really had both worlds, he could give an excellent speech AND make people feel like they were important.
This concluded my apolitical observations.
