"Why is he so nervous and appear so lacking in confidence when speaking in public?"

Look I know he's the leader of the free world and all, but he's still a person. And, beleive it or not, after DEATH, public speaking is the thing feared most by people.

In fact, almost all politicians are terrible at it. Bush is actually pretty good from a prepared text. He's bad on his feet tho', but we know that already. The American people know that. But he's good when the spirit moves him. Nobody is going to vote for him or against him because of press conference performance.

And, on this count, Kerry, that sonorous, pompous, haughty bore, is no threat at all. At least Bush sounds like a real Amurican. Kerry has good eloqution (sp?) but we are not electing a toastmaster in chief, so no worries on this account.

This I agree with. Which is why I think the debates will work in Bush's favor.

I think Kerry will look just awful on stage next to Bush.
