Wanted: Communicators!

I totally agree with Jim Geraghty on this one. The sad thing is that (as you'll note), except for Newt, the best communicators (right now) are not conservatives ...

Folks, we need some communicators. There's a reason that so many on the right gasp when we hear Newt Gingrich speak; the man knows how to make a point clearly and effectively. Looking back at the 2004 Republican convention, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Arnold Schwarzenegger each gave grand slam speeches that hit a wide variety of notes and topics. (Heck, George Pataki gave a really good speech at the convention, a possibility I would have said was as probable as the Jets win over the Patriots last Sunday.)

Look at the difference between Scott McClellan and Tony Snow behind the podium at the White House press briefings.
