I am not familiar with Bob Menendez
But if anyone can speak more dryly than Kerry, we have found him!

Don't mean to bash, but he sounds like Cal Coolidge!

1. He's good in Spanish
I'm understanding about half of it, but it's well delivered.

4. I thought he was very good
and take it from me his Spanish is very good and much better than the Spanglish spewed by Dubya.

5. Oh, I'm ok with him too
Just his diction in English does not sound much like an Hispanic, more like one of those hoity toity northeastern librul elite types, ya know.

Again, no offense nor generalizations intended, but when his is introduced as the grandpappy of Dem hispanics and speaks Cape Cod..

Ok, nevermind.....

I am enjoying the convention and sense I am stereotyping. Just there are so many latinos from the inner city of Chicago and many other big cities, I am sure, who would seem to have more of a message.

I am not a latino, not do I speak fluently en espanol. He just didn't seem like a guy to appeal to the base latinos that I know.
