I believe the difference between Reagan and Kennedy was Reagan's sense of humor. Kennedy was an excellent formal speaker, but I believe Reagan was better "off the cuff."

Two things that come to mind (and I realize they are inappropriate because of the Kennedy assassination), but they come to mind are Reagan's two quips after being shot. "Honey, I forgot to duck" and 'I hope the doctors are Republicans."

Yes, and I think Reagan's sense of humor was related to his deep faith - he had a positive attitude on all fronts.
