Kerry's staff needs to detonate all podiums and mikestands. |
|
Kerry gets stapled to a podium, and when his hands get stapled to the podium, the droning begins. No more mike stands, either. Kerry's arms hang limp at his sides after he walks up to a mikestand.
Kerry is a far better speaker with a mike, no podium, and room to move around on a platform. Leave a mike on a stool for the candidate. Let Kerry use a mike in hand and re-inforce that he can't stand behind a mikestand or podium. When Kerry is holding a mike, his body language is much more animated.

Jerry Springer interview him........It would be more motivating. Springer is a beloved Ohio democrat too. he won't pull any tricky questions.

You should send your thoughts to his campaign staff. I've watched him too and he is much more effective in a casual, town hall setting.

6. Clinton was horrible behind podiums, too. |
|
Clinton's worst speeches were behind fixed podiums. His DNC keynote address. The SOTU addresses. Getting Clinton out among his supporters into interactive settings was key to Clinton's success.

8. I think Edwards does better during Q&A with the audience |
|
than in debates. It is hard to be engaging behind a lectern. And hard for most people to be compelling in one minute or less.

Kerry is much better with peripatetic style. Thinks on his feet.
