Wes Clark's speech was supposed to be from the heart and energized, but he was reading it (and it was very obvious he was doing so). Combine that with his nearly starting his speech at the same time as Kerry, and it shows some of the weakness in his campaign that pundits are talking about every day now.
I saw another spot of that the other day. Clark had a rally at (I think) a school gym. After the rally, he stepped down and went through the crowd taking and answering questions. Twice during that 20 minutes or so, he rebuffed media people who were trying to get access to him. In the first case, he was almost acting like he wasn't listening to his aide, who kept trying to get him to talk to some reporter. The second time was even worse-- he was going from person to person down the line, and when he found himself mistakenly treating a media person like a real person, he actually recoiled, and rudely said "Oh, you're another reporter? I can't talk to you," and abruptly turned his back on her and moved on.

"I am nominally a Democrat, but have never been seriously politically active, mainly because I'm fed up with a lot of what the major parties say and do. ...you could say I'm looking for an intelligent alternative.
"I'm not ready to declare myself a Libertarian, but your site piques me and makes me think. And that's (at least) half the battle.
"Very interesting."
