Obama did not inspire me.

[MalloyLiberal]

John Edwards did.

[BeyondGeography]

1. And you were so there to be inspired

:eyes:

[MalloyLiberal]

10. I tried.

[Stuckinthebush]

20. Is that wrong?

For a person to want to be inspired by a candidate?

[Cha]

24. Why not? There's better

retorts than rolling your eyes when someone would like to be INSPIRED by a candidate.

Dennis Kucinich inspires me.

[jillan]

2. Funny - Obama inspired me, and I am a die-hard Biden supporter. Edwards on the other hand -

didn't do a thing for me.

[Clintonista2]

3. Same.

I'm sorry, but he just comes off as very very boring. He does not inspire.

[merbex]

27. my husband just watched him on MTP and said the same thing

"I think he is boring. What is all the fuss about?"

I said, "What do you mean by boring?

He answered, "Listen to him! He drones on an on... I'm struggling to pay close attention."

Take it for what's it's worth - this in reaction to today's MTP interview.

I'm the one in house that pays closer attention to politics.

4. You're right on the mark

What happened to the Obama of 2004? He lost his spark.

[Blue_In_AK]

5. Is the video of Obama's speech posted here anywhere?

It would be hard to top Edwards. I thought he was outstanding.

[gateley]

13. Both Edwards and Obama's speeches are on DU now - nt

[Blue_In_AK]

14. Thanks, I found it.

I think after listening and watching the two, I still feel more comfortable with Edwards. I can't get past this feeling that Obama is too "polished," like he's acting ... saying all the right things with all the right inflections, but there's kind of a Messianic air in there that makes me feel a little uneasy. "I will do this, I will do that," and then "I will lead the world" -- Yikes! A little humility would be nice.

[mtnsnake]

6. Edwards put me to sleep. I'd rather watch a documentary on the demise of the grain crop in China

than listen to his string cheese rhetoric.

[Bitwit1234]

7. And Obama is much better than sucking lemons.

[girl gone mad]

12. It seems..

you really like to bash John Edwards.

[tammywammy]

23. bwahahahaha, indeed

:rofl:

[sandnsea]

8. Obama, Biden and Edwards

were all great. It doesn't hurt to say so.

[Blue-Jay]

9. You should start a thread about it.

[MalloyLiberal]

11. Done.

[Mass]

15. Funny, opposite here. Edwards never inspired me. Obama did. Biden too.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. I Find These Unbiased Reviews Very Helpful And Informative

:sarcasm:

[wndycty]

17. Am I supposed to be surprised or concerned that someone who has a track record of opposing Obama

on the DU is not inspired by him? Shocking I tell you, shocking!

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. But, where is Clinton's video?

I want to see it!

[geek tragedy]

19. I bet you kept on open mind . . . NOT. n/t

[MalloyLiberal]

21. How would you know?

I love how when someone agrees with you , you're all for them, if not, they can't have an opinion. Sounds like Freeperville.

[geek tragedy]

25. Your posting history. You said Edwards was the only

one you'd vote for in the general election.

So, you're really not fooling anyone with this.

[ripple]

22. When have you ever had anything positive to say about Obama?

If you had at least some modicum of objectivity, your opinion might actually be worth something.

[William769]

26. Obama inspired me!

He inspired me to make sure that I use every fiber of my being to make sure he is NOT the Democratic Presidential nominee.

[goodgd_yall]

28. His delivery was too halting

I didn't care for the numerous pauses. His overall message didn't seem cohesive. And, though, I've lost any inclination to vote for Obama, I've usually found him to be an excellent speaker. This speech wasn't one of his best.
