His use of pathos makes it really hard for me to take him seriously. I don't like it when a politician appeals to people's emotions instead of their logic and I don't think it's a good foundation for a presidency.

Also I believe he's overrated as a speaker as he seems lost without a teleprompter. I wasn't fully convinced of his performances at the debates. If you look at his speech today you can see that his view always moves from one teleprompter to another, he never looks straight forward. I realize that it's not easy to speak freely under such circumstances but McCain did much better in my opinion.
