Great thread - it's refreshing to read so many insightful and/or amusing posts!!
I realise this is a little bit off-topic, but I need some help.
I'm with an online business TV network called yourBusinessChannel, and we're looking to collect opinion on Obama and McCain's performances as persuasive communicators during the debate on Friday.
Ask yourself - politics aside, who would you buy a used car off?
yourBusinessChannel produces short internet business TV shows providing advice to business people and entrepreneurs on all aspects of business.
We are currently producing a series which focuses on how to be really persuasive when making business and sales presentations.
I've been reading the comments thread on this blog and have been impressed with the level of discussion here - so I'd love any or all of you to reply to this post with your views and opinions...
I want to know - in your opinion - which candidate:
- Had the most persuasive tone of voice?
- Made best use of body language?
- Seemed genuinely passionate about their message?
- Used humour to good effect?
- Showed total mastery of policy details?
- Rebutted his opponent most convincingly, and dealt best with criticism?
- Was relaxed and confident in making off the cuff comments?
- Avoided major faux pas and screw-ups?
- Came across as a real human being, not a robot regurgitating talking points?
