Kerry needs a new speechwriter
The stump speech is stale; a laundry list. Kerry needs words that inspire the mind and touch the heart.

Will Pitt could do the job. Or someone like him could.

Campaign: you need to find a Theodore Sorenson.

8. It WAS Close To Perfection.
I wasn't a Kerry fan before... but am now.

This clinched it.

5. You Must've Watched The Cartoon Channel. Kerry's Veteran Speech Kicked Ass
sounded like a DU'er.

He ripped Bush a new one.

11. Unfortunately, some people think a speech is effective only if
it's full of red meat and delivered with wild-eyes, a sneer and a roar.

7. are you talking about the American Legion? that wasn't a stump speech
that was a speech aimed specifically at that audience which tends to lean conservative.

13. And don't forget how "tired" he looked...
He must need a new makeup person too!
Though I must admit I haven't heard one of his stump speeches in a while. Btw, did you hear his major address to the American Legion? It was awesome!

15. I thought it was fine
Most people in America don't hear Kerry's speeches over and over, so they don't think it is stale.
