31. George P. Bush brought tears to eyes of his father and grandfather as he gave his first nationally televised campaign speech to the Republican National Convention on Thursday. 32. He also peppered his campaign speeches with Spanish. 33. He is in favor of the death penalty, which Ms. Burstein opposes, and he made that a focus of every campaign speech. 34. He then launched into his usual campaign speech. 35. He said he would hold more town hall-style meetings with voters and make fewer set-piece campaign speeches. 36. He knows that Dwight Eisenhower sullied himself by deferring to Joe McCarthy and cutting praise for Gen. George C. Marshall from a Wisconsin campaign speech. 37. He now regularly mentions his newspapering endeavors in campaign speeches. 38. His campaign speeches are often full of details of his proposals, and at times he risks losing his audience. 39. He would never have prayed in a campaign speech, or conceded he might be tied up with religious rites on weekends. 40. His comments have become rote, recited slogans, filled with unconvincing optimism, sort of like a Bob Dole campaign speech just before the last election. |
