Ditto. Romney is not even a punt.

He's a sandbag.

Punt? Sandbag? What are you talking about, Mr roT? There are times like this when you simply lose me with your opaque prose.

They’re not pushing Rubio because while they praise him, they don’t think he has had enough experience yet. Rush is talking to Rot, evidently. I proposed several times Rubio, but noooo, said Rot, he's not ready, tadadi, tadada. OK, whatevah.

Nah, Rubio is a lot like Obama. Boring speaker, lame anodyne ideas.

He's a much better orator than any politician from Texas, past or present. This should count for something, no?

If there were a milligram of truth in what you say, then perhaps. Texas politicians are known for putting on a good show.

W and Perry are notable exceptions, but Kinky Friedman is about average, actually.

You still haven't given me a single counterexample: name one Texas politician who can speak better -- on a national scale, of course, not putting on a show for the local rubes. I'll be waiting, patiently.

Tecs, Rubio sounds like a retarded kindergarten teacher telling kids to be nice to each other.

He's another Obama but with the right core beliefs and some character. He is no speaker. Cain can whip his ass.

Among Texans, Connally was really good.

Cain is not from Texas.

So, OK, you finally gave me your example--John Connally. Well, he's dead--RiP. And yes, he was a smoothie, I remember him. But I also remember he put something like $11 million into his 1980 campaign for President (you know, competing to see who's gonna go mano-a-mano against Jimmah), and all he got for those $11 million, and all his oratory, was precisely 1 delegate to the convention. Ronnie cleaned his clock, real well.

I'm still not impressed with those vaunted Texas orators, Mr Rot. And I still take Rubio over any of them. Sorry.

Yes, Reagan won. He was a pitiful speaker...

Reagan was a great speaker. You know, they didn't call him "The Great Communicator" for nothing. You simply wouldn't know a great speaker (like Reagan) from a mediocre one (like Perry). Ah, well, what can I do.

Reagan was not a good speaker, Tecs. You are repeating the Democrat meme.

The point of Reagan is that what he said was good on substance (though execution was half-assed, imo).

But it was delivered smarmily and platitudinously.

Perhaps that was the right way to speak to a country of infants, but that's not oratory any more than nuns reading the Gospel are Pericles.
