Blog Question #4 -- Political Language

Try to find a piece of political "writing" that was written/delivered by your candidate (e.g. a personal statement from his/her website, a section of a debate from a previous election, a speech, etc.) Link to your source material so we can all see/read it. Then analyze the political language. Which functions of political language are being fulfilled? How? Is it successful or not? Which functions of political language are not present? Why? Try to "read between the lines." What is the candidate saying? What is the candidate not saying?

    Lauren, I would also have to agree that numbers,and statistics bring a speakers credibility to a whole different level. It makes the speaker seem knowledgable, and it creates imagery for the audience.
