To compare John Kerry and Hillary Clinton and to judge who is better is really a subjective equation. But the best way to ascertain their public speaking qualities and substance they exposed during primary Presidential elections would be an intelligent assessment. In 2004 Presidential elections if you compare what John Kerry did and spoke during the debates between the finalists and compare to what Hillary did in 2008 her speeches and debate ability will clearly tell you that Hillary is much more refined and experienced and expound the image that she is Presidential quality. It is a cheese to chalk comparision. Who would you chose to represent America when meeting with international diplomats? The obvious answer will be Hillary. That is my opinion!
