1. Iowa and NH showed JK can draw better crowds than Dean
where it REALLY matters too.

Try to watch the clenched-fist straight-arm salute.

27. Denial is not a river in Eygpt
How people can consider Kerry's campaign at all grassroots is beyond amazing to me.

Power to the people? Maybe if you define "people" as rich white guys from Massachusetts who've spent almost two decades in Washington DC as a patrician Senator and are practically poster boys for the establishment, well okay then.

Otherwise, pick a differant song.

How about something like "nothing's going to change my world..."?

6. that's because
People came to hear Kerry speak, not to sit around and marvel at themselves and how they are "taking back America."

9. Your point is that Kerry can draw a crowd
Not that Kerry has more people with signs in the audience. Personally Ive seen Kerry with supporters on TV, people get excited and etc with cries of "Kerry", "Bring it on", and "we are coming and dont forget to let the door hit you" or something like that. Kerry can draw crowds, I dont find him boring at all.

17. and who are you to say these people dont believe in Kerry
You dont need signs to prove your heart's belief in a man.

11. yup
I guess it's all the eye of the beholder. Personally, I don't find any candidate boring (okay, well maybe Gephardt or Lieberman) and I think they're all effective speakers at what they do best.

Kerry is very good in almost any form of speaking.
Edwards is great in small crowds.
Dean is great in large crowds.

Clark is...well, I haven't seen him enough to gague his speaking ability. I don't know what his best style is.

I love that son of a milk truck driver for what he does for labor.

12. Signs cost money
Maybe that's where the $30 million went. Maybe he should have paid more attention to what he was saying that having a bunch of signs to feed his ego.

14. yes...which also proves how establishment he is
Because as we all know...the Establishment always makes candidates sell their homes to keep campaigning. It's a sign they really like a guy.

16. Maybe they've just become as disallusioned with Kerry as we have.
He's just not the kind of guy that's going to stand up for their "special" interests.

29. this is....
...the most lackluster picture of a presidential candidate I have ever seen. Look at his face. Lifeless, nearly.

30. Totally consistant
We indeed do appear to be stuck with a Democratic version of Bob Dole.
