Public Speaking Skills Come in 1st and 2nd in Iowa Caucus
Posted by TJ Walker in Politics, Public Speaking Skills on January 4, 2008
Modern politics is supposed to be about big money, polling, backroom deals, and internet sophistication. Of course all of these elements have a role in campaigns. But the Iowa Caucuses were striking in that both the Republican and Democratic voters picked the two best public speakers for the two top slots to represent their parties.
In modern politics, this is unusual. John Kerry really wasn’t a great communicator. Bob Dole, not that great. And of course there is the strange case of George W. Bush receiving the Republican Nomination—twice.
