Kerry verkoopt zichzelf slecht

William Saletan van het internetblad Slate vraagt zich af of John Kerry wel in staat is om zichzelf te verkopen, een vereiste om als een daadkrachtige kandidaat naar voren te komen. Saletan denkt dat hij dat niet kan. Kerry is iemand die een heleboel “selling points” heeft, maar mensen niet tot aankoop kan verleiden: “Other people are doing the persuasion. Other people are doing the testimonial ads, as first lady Christie Vilsack did for Kerry in Iowa. Other people are firing up his crowds. Other people are telling his story. Other people are touting his virtues at rallies because he doesn't reliably display those virtues himself. The man who stood up to serve his country as a soldier is being propped up as a candidate.”
Het is routine dat een kandidaat kort wordt aangekondigd en dan zelf uitgebreid het word neemt. Zo niet bij Kerry, aldus Saletan, die bij een Kerry-rally aanwezig was: “First Shaheen sang Kerry's praises. Then a former state senator sang Kerry's praises. Then Ted Kennedy sang Kerry's praises. Then Kennedy's son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., sang Kerry's praises. Then Kerry spoke for a bit and handed the mike to his stepson and wife, who sang Kerry's praises. It's like going to a concert and sitting through a bunch of speeches in which the musician's friends attest, ‘This guy can sing.’”
