A Presidential Candidate has to speak to the regular guy!
Advertisements [?]
I'm listening to Bob Kincaid's show now, and during an interview they were talking about what a Candidate has to do to win.

Bob said, think about that last 2 Dem Presidents spoke like. Jimmy Carter & Bill Clinton. They both just talked to the regular guy like they were one of them, and people believed them!

I've never put it that way, but I've been saying a simmilar thing for a long time. I think that's why Kerry lost. He's smart, articulate, and a good guy, but he's perceived as "not being like me". Even through today, he speaks like a Senator, not like your neighbor.

Unfortunately, so far, the only person I've seen who fits the bill is Brian Schweitzer, Governor of Montana, and he said he's not interested!
