Like hell it will... everyone I talk to at work, thought it rang true. 4 dems 4 pubs
My boss (now, he is a conservative) said to me that it was "so great to finally see a politician say the truth and what he believes" and let the chips fall where they may.
I believe alot of folks are going to see Zell's speech that way. He didn't come off as a nut, or ridiculous hyperbole- he came off as someone "mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore". LOTS of folks can understand that.
