You couldn't help liking him when he spoke, even when you completely disagreed with what he was saying. Reagan was the same way. Funny thing with Reagan was a lot of folks believed in the complete opposite of what they believed, but they couldn't help liking him. I've seen Nader speak live, and I thought he was quite good, but I think he appeals more to "nerdy" types and several of the other people there who saw him were bored. Bush isn't that good of a speaker. He tends to get nervous when speaking to larger groups. He probably is more comfortable in one-on-one situations. H. Clinton does come off as cold. McCain loses his cool way too much. A friend of mine was joking, but he asked me if I'd like to see McCain with his finger on the button and I immediately replied "no." Obama cannot improvise at all. I hate hearing him answer questions. I also saw Badnarek (2004's Libertarian candidate) speak and like Nader, he appeals to more "nerdy" types, intellectuals. I think he'd put the average person to speak. Oprah, whether you like her or not, can speak. I could see her being a good orator, but thankfully she's not a politician.
