After he got everyone snoring about his history and heaping praise on the opposition, he manged to sneak in the real content that might appeal to a sensible person. He put it in in low, barely audible terms and I'm sure, if anyone had stayed tuned until then, the message was unintelligible or, at the minimum, not well emphasized as to stick in their mind.

This is how he talks all the time. Maybe I’m just used to hearing it because I’m from Louisiana. When Hurricane Gustiv and Ike were threatening our shores last fall, he was all over the TV talking and talking giving very detailed information about what we should do and what the state was doing.
And frankly, I don’t know what all the hoopla is about how much Obama is such a fabulous speaker. I’ve never understood it.
I think we'll just have to attribute last night's performance to nerves?
Some composure here, people...
For what it’s worth, as we learned in November, style is MUCH more important.
If we as conservatives care about the content and ideology, we MUST find someone that can deliver it with style, or they won’t be able to win an election.
Like it or not that’s the case...we can whine and bitch all we want that people value style over substance, or, we can deal with it and work with it.
That said, Jindal made ONE SPEECH. ONE. He has almost 4 years to make his case. One less than perfect speech does not a failure make.
“heaping praise on the opposition”
WTF?!? He point blank called the Democrat passed bill “IRRESPONSIBLE”. Just because he said it without foaming at the mouth, or just because he makes a few initial comments about Obama’s path to president, that doesnt equate to ‘heaping praise’ (although I agree it was unneeded.)
I thought the ‘volcano’ item was a stick in the mind item.
In any case, the response is not a speech that matters much so any praise or criticism is overdone.
