After today Jim, I could not agree more. Sometimes we get obsessed with theories of why someone is winning and what issues matter. But if you see the candidates on display as they were at the RJC -whether in person or via the web – what struck you most was the performance gap in presentation between the candidates. Yes, it was a very pro-Rudy crowd but he made the most of it and his political skills are sometimes not fully appreciated. He is good in a big room and in debates and that matters. It’s not everything but it counts. A very talented politician usually, but not always, beats less talented ones.
