46. Um, you didn't answer the question, and independents are breaking for him
Have you seen him speak in person?

I became a "true believer" **after** I saw him speak in person.

Kerry's stump speeches are great when you are there, he is full of passion, he moves people to tears, he makes people proud to be Dems.

But they don't read well on TV.

There are lots of analogies for this - something as simple as W's "hypnotic tie" - Bush wore a tie once that probably looked great in person, but was a wild pulsating psychedelic mess on TV.

Unfortunately a national campaign is all about TV. However Kerry is working on it and getting better. And fortunately, despite what the media used to tell us, Bush ain't that hot on TV either.
