Constructive criticism: Sestak talks too long. Needs to keep it short.

Keystoners don't all talk like him do they? Rendell don't that I recall.

1. He also needs to say the word "I" differently

He puts too much air behind it,it sounds a bit pompous. John Kerry did the same thing.

2. I swear I could see his tonsils. Don't remember what words he was

saying or enunciating, but it's a bit distracting.

I like Sestak. I liked him the first time I saw him on Big Ed's show, but it's getting more difficult listening to him. I don't recall him being like this last year. I could be wrong, but don't think so.

3. Yeah....while at the mike he loses a few......

he needs a little bit of training on this.
He's trying too hard, and he should relax a bit,
and talk normal.

Hope someone mentions it to him.

4. I've always found it hard to listen to him.

His words don't flow well. But I like the guy and I'm happy for him.

5. Well, having won the primary, perhaps now the DNC will help him.

By providing him with seasoned pros who know this stuff.

John Kerry drove me nuts in 2004 with his long-winded answers. The man refused to speak a sentence when a paragraph would fit. In a news environment dominated by the soundbite, he couldn't produce a soundbite. I sure hope this doesn't cost Mr. Sestak the win.

6. He's not the smoothest talker in the world but it's all him, not PA. nt

7. Not to pile on, but "WashingDeeCee" kinda grates.

8. So what you are saying is that even a vocally weak candidate

was able to beat the hell out of Arlen Specter, political master. Good point, that even a flawed candidate was seen as vastly better than a Republican in disguise.
