Light Criticism: What annoys you about your chosen candidate?
I've noticed that Wes Clark says "and that's why I'm running" an awful lot. It gets slightly annoying if you watch him a lot (like I do).

1. I think it's my candidate's lack of existence that annoys me most

I try to just ignore it, but it's not easy.

2. He doesn't know to unbutton his friggen jacket when he sits down.
I guess he's used to being in uniform.

:evilgrin:

(You can dress him up but you can't take him anywhere.)

19. Thank You...
I hope I was not too 'annoying'... Hence the 'warning label'. Of course, that most likely provokes the type of curiosity that killed the proverbial cat.

6. He will not sit forward
I sometimes find myself screaming at the TV for him to lean just a little bit forward on his chair so that his chin is not planted on his tie.

7. Hmm. My three candidates (Clark, Edwards and Dean):
not one thing about them annoys me. I only wish they could all be on the ticket.

12. Clark says "& that's why I'm running" in ads to comply w/ election law
This isn't light crit, but my candidate's position on restricting speech when it's done by flag burning, annoys me more than flag burning. But is my candidate Clark, Dean, Gephardt, or Kucinich? They're all on the wrong side of this issue and I'm still gonna vote for one of them.

Possibly two of them, if you count the GE

13. I'm not talking about ads!
I'm talking about everything. Interviews, speeches, talking to people, anything. I don't think he's even used it once in an ad yet.

14. He stammers
and not in a speech impediment kind of way. He just gets excited and starts moving his lips faster than he's actually talking.

20. Howard's suits!
I wish he'd quit being so tight-fisted and get some good, new tailored duds! His suits are 'OK', but they still look like he bought them at JC Penney! With his upper body (especially his neck and upper arms), he needs some nicely-tapered jackets and shirts. :P
