I caught up with his speech on telly and honestly wasn't impressed at all. If he is being talked of as the contender for 2008, god save the Democrats. With the wooden faced Kerry against the affable Bush, the republicans are assured of victory in the coming elections and with Obama being touted a contender for 2008, the republicans look unbeatable, much like the labour party in UK. Exciting things can happen only in Indian politics! I don’t get it. I caught up with his speech on telly and honestly wasn’t impressed at all.

It does help Bush not being a good speaker either. Vajpayee was the only one on my mind when I asked that question...I don't see anyone currently.

Kerry himself is not known for his speeches. And 'being good' in speaking is not so good .. me feels. These kind of speakers engage the public in emotion and leave out the important stuff. Like Hillary Clinton on Monday .. she took every opportunity she could to praise kerry like hell .. and it didn't sound good. It sounded hollow. As far as India is concerned .. Vajpayee was known to be a good orator. I dunno abt other ppl .. as again they may speak well .. but we catch the hollowness. The US has some good speakers.
