He has "it" in him -- and then some. What he lacks is the natural communication skills to get it across. What infuriates me is that his staff has access to specialists who do this for a living. It has become a science now. And yet they sent him out to face Russert unprepared. There was absolutely NO excuse for that. I would give anything to have someone like Lee Atwater back. I knew Lee Atwater. And Karl Rove is NO Lee Atwater.
