I agree that he doesn't have Bill Clinton's "I feel your Pain" or Bill Clinton's way of changing his accent and tone of speech for different areas of the country. But I think Kerry is by far the more sincere and genuine of the two men and over time, had Kerry been President, that would have showed. The surprising thing is that some of your fellow MA people have said that he has become much better at showing the real feeling and emotions he has.

As to speechs, Kerry at his best has an eloquence that Clinton never approached. Clinton mesmerized almost more than inspired. You have to think very hard to remember a single line of any Clinton speech. Now, if you said RFK or JFK - you'd have a better argument. If you have time to listen to one Kerry speech (as background to other things you're doing) listen to the American University speech on johnkerry.com. Kerry speaking from his heart is pretty good.
