The "Defending the American Dream" summit held by Americans For Prosperity is over ... and what a wonderful experience to hear from so many presidential candidates -- seven of them! --at one event. I had never heard any of them speak in person and, since I have not made up my mind about a candidate, have been listening to the debates and studying their issues.
One event cannot determine a decision but two candidates hit it out of the park: Rudy and Mitt.
One disappointed: Fred.
This does not negate their stands on issues -- my number one issue is national security -- but public speaking does impact people. If someone is passionate about becoming President, I like to see it come through in their remarks ... I like to be rallied and caught up in their dream of heading up the most powerful country in the world.
However ... I want a leader ... and sometimes a leader is not the most articulate person. Time will tell as I learn more about the candidates.
