checkmate Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I was really disappointed in Edwards, I probably knew his entire speech. Basically a combination of his stump speech from the primaries and his speech at the convention. I expect the campaign to be reinvigorated when the Republicans give the Democrats new material during and after the debates.
blzrul Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 One of the things they pound into you in campaign training is to get the message, stay on the message, and keep on message. So it's not surprising. I saw Howard Dean in person once and his speech was a rerun as well. I'm sure it's the same on the other side. With 24x7 news and the internet, speeches that might normally seem new or fresh aren't any more. However to many people they probably are. It would be nice if the campaigns could focus on something other than who got shot worse in Vietnam and the like ... I think things will heat up in the home stretch and there will be some fireworks, and variety.
