That's what I hate most about politicians.  None of them write their own shit.  Don't any of them have thoughts of their own?  Are any of them even the slightest bit eloquent?

What I wonder is if any of their writers have any eloquence. I listen to JFK speeches and marvel at the eloquence, it's like night and day compared to this generation of politicians.

The challenge for a speech writer is working with the candidate's ability to deliver the speech. You don't write Shakespeare for Stuttering John. JFK was a gifted orator who could deliver those speeches. Gifted orators are few and far between these days. Depressing.

I would say when their teleprompters were working, both Bill and Obama could read very well.

yeah Ron Paul is great. Loves the wikileaks bastards, constantly bitching about government control while putting shit in bills that force the rest of the country to pay for his pet projects and voting against those bills so that he can still claim a perfect voting record.

LOL at not even making it past the first page before Ron Paul hijacks a Rand Paul thread.

It was OK, better than most candidates. I wrote speeches for a couple governors, corporate CEOs, members of Congress, etc. Every one of them thought they were gifted writers and orators. Usually had to let them fall on their faces once or twice before they learned to listen. Speech writing is not like writing prose. Writing for the ear and writing for the eye couldn't be more different.

Huckabee is speaking now, not sure if he wrote his remarks or not. If it wasn't him, whomever wrote his speech knows his delivery style and crafted it well. Part of it is Huckabee is a good entertainer that knows how to read an audience and morph to it, part of it is timing, cadence, and inflection.

The best speech in the world will sound like shit if not delivered by the right person, and the best orator can only do o muchif asked to deliver tripe. Most people overestimate their ability to deliver a speech, and worse, too many think they can go off script and ad lib. I always loved showing a client h video after they went off the reservation. The visible cringe is bust a gut laugh worthy.

Rand Paul was and will be the only speaker that actually gets it.

Some prefer slick politicians instead I guess.

My parents were fawning over many of the speakers today, but they don't really care much for Rand Paul.  They look at politicians too superficially.  I think that is the norm.
