I voted for Bush and I'm happy I did. Do I agree with him 100% on everything? Nope, but it always comes down to the lesser of 2 evils.
Colin, public speaking is tough. I've done a ton of it in my life (even won a few awards) and I was always nervous even though I was only speaking to 100-500 people. I can't imagine what it's like to speak to the world. It's easy when you know everyone in the audience, much tougher when you don't know anyone. Clinton is a gifted speaker, no doubt about that, but it's easy to tell people what they want to hear. It's much tougher when people don't want to hear your message. I gave a presentation at an IBM conference a couple years ago about some new Microsoft technology and it was how I'm sure Bush feels when it's over. (IBM guys hate Microsoft in case you didn't know) Nothing I said could possibly convince them, nothing I said could change their minds, etc. At the end of an hour and half I was drained both physically and emotionally. In a long winded way I guess I'm trying to make the point it isn't easy to tell people what they don't want to hear especially when they are in a crowd.
