and kerry WAS THE BEST in that town hall format of all the candidates i saw. because when kerry takes a question from someone , even if it's in front of a large audience, for that moment he is taking the question it's only between kerry and the person asking the question. he listens to them , he allows them to question him, to challenge him. you can say he EXPECTS them to do it. and he knows as a candidate seeking their vote and trust he owes it to them to give them the truth and answer to their question as best as he can.

when the people go up to him they don't see him as some big name politician they need to be careful around. notice how comfortable they are in asking their questions to him. they don't feel ashamed or worry about what or how they will be seen by him. they see him as someone who should and WILL help them out. people sometimes complain about him giving long answers, but don't people deserve answers to their questions as specific and detailed as can be rather than just some line that may sound good without actually having answered it?
