1. agreed....

too fast...choppy.....repetitive...hope he hits his stride and gets comfortable

[WillyT]

2. I'm Thinking He's Trying To Get It Done Before The Networks...

cut him off for some insipid sitcom or something!

:argh:

[Feanorcurufinwe]

12. Exactly

[Davis_X_Machina]

3. Yankees talk like that.

Not much y'all can do about it.

It's like saying 'nucular'.

[Gin]

4. hes hot...and fired up...just as it should be.

5. Short sentences. Written that way deliberately to avoid the DRONE....

It's a long speech and it has to move and make it before they cut him off on the network. He has to avoid slowing down with all the cheering,too.

I'm very happy with it so far. The drone is being minimized! He's not sounding boring. He sounds energized.

7. I agree, its a huge improvement on some of his primary speeches

[RadiDem]

9. Agreed ! Good pace !

[rocktivity]

14. I'm glad he's fast and choppy

It makes you want to listen to hear what he's going to say next. This is EXACTLY what I hope he'd do--that flat nasal-ish monotone drone is GONE!

15. I agree, Gloria. He's doing very well.

Did you notice how slowly Kennedy spoke in the quote played earlier? He came from the age of radio -- people won't sit still and listen that long now.

6. It's you

This is GREAT!

[CatWoman]

8. heh

lol

sorry, couldn't resist :D

[WillyT]

13. Nah, She Says I Take Too Long !!!

:loveya::evilgrin::loveya:

LOL!!!

[Bluebear]

10. I love the pace and energy. nt

[Doctor_J]

11. not as good as Smirk at letting the

adulation run on.

[trof]

16. Bad start (IMHO), better now.

I thought the salute and "reporting for duty" was kinda cheesy.
Having said that, I think he's doing better in the body of his speech.
He's no John Edwards, who I hope will take up the slack.
And I am NOT a Kerry basher.
I LIKE him and will sure vote for him.
I have supported him to the tune of $300 so far.

17. Prime-time coverage ends at 11pm EST

so he has to get it all out before then.

Sad but true.

[WillyT]

18. THAT Is What I Suspected !!! - But He Does Seem To Have Calmed Down...

and gotten comfortable with it.

Or... maybe I have, LOL!!!

:shrug:

[CatWoman]

21. don't give us that shit

you know that's what your girlfriend said!!!

:D

[WillyT]

23. Shhh... Don't TELL Anybody, Sheesh !!!

:hi:

19. The best thing to do

is to alternate longer portions with shorter ones. It keeps your audiences attention better. That seems to be the case with this speech. Whoever looked it over did a good job editing for "listen-ability."

20. nice comeback.....

he got comfortable and is doing a much better job....still wish he would play the crowd a little better....

[Gin]

22. he's a man with a plan...and a lot to say in a short period of time...

I like a fast pace.

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

24. He seems to be a little fast, yes.

That happens sometimes when someone is nervous. I can't imagine he's NOT nervous -- this is the most important, pressure-filled moment of his life so far.

I am praying for him.
