I guess I don't appreciate public figures that have to talk differently to different audiences. Just talk as you normally do and be yourself.

For the record, I did live in North Carolina for 5 years and was one of his constituents, so I do have a right to complain about the fakeness of his folksy aires. If he is a folksy person normally, then he should act like that all the time. I've seen him pull the old switcharoo - folksy one minute, and not so much the next.

I talk to everyone in the same manner, so I guess it does bother me. I don't change things up for different audiences. The message, mode and delivery is always the same.

Being a lawyer myself, I don't like those who practice in the field of personal injury. I feel that they:
1) Exploit people's stupidity - always making a mountain out of a mole hill - of course coffee is hot!
2) Clog the court system with ridiculous law suits
3) Really stress the need for tort reform.

So those are my thoughts.

Now if he ran today, he'd probably win, but not with my vote.
