Is it just me or am I the only one who did not actually here JFK ask the voters for their vote?
I was trainied in sales that if you are pitching ANYTHING you have to close the sale by directly asking for the sale. Bush made the classic close and asked for the public's vote. Kerry was too busy being a critic and neglected the close unless I missed it. People want to be asked. I think that alone hurts Kerry. He wasn't even focused on the voter.
I checked the tape. "I ask you to give you the opportunity to make you proud. I ask you to give me the opportunity to lead this nation." Sounds like a request for votes to me.
