Longwinded Kerry Prompts Audience Walkout

John Kerry has tightened up his rhetoric on the campaign trail, but he's still sometimes too longwinded on the stump - even for some of his biggest fans.

Tuesday night, for instance, when he arrived in Waterloo, Iowa - Kerry kicked off a rally at the airport with a bang. But as he continued to drone on his audience grew so bored one of them actually almost passed out.

After launching into an attack on Bush, saying it was time to give him his "two-weeks-notice," Kerry almost immediately began to lose focus.

CBS News.com describes what happened next:

"Shortly thereafter, Kerry wound up drifting, even after promising 16 minutes into the event that he would wrap up his remarks as an audience member became woozy.

"While the man was being tended to, Kerry told the crowd he was going to 'wind up ... because I don’t want to keep everybody late.'

"It eventually took him over six minutes of winding to finally 'wind up,' though several audience members wound up walking out, choosing not to wait for the end."
