Live Blogging the DNC: Jim Leach
I’m a big Jim Leach fan. I was sorry to see him get beat. His speech, on paper, is compelling — as an op-ed. But his presentation is awful. He’s a college professor, not a stemwinder. In addition, he’s too academic. He’s not connecting with his audience. In fact he’s losing him.
Here’s a good example: “the portfolio of challenges.” Nobody is going to know what that means.
Best line: “Little is more dangerous to this country than more of the same.”
This is the Democrats Zell Miller? Joe Lieberman? They couldn’t get Hagel or Chafee? And remember, I’m a Jim Leach fan.
But hey, he’s better than Nancy Pelosi.
I’m beginning to wonder whether the Obama campaign vetted these speeches.
