		<description>Hi Rob,

Thanks for reading the blog and especially for the comment. I simply don&#039;t understand how people running for office can speak so poorly. It is amazing. Toastmasters would help them. So would reading a book. If they are really serious about winning, or looking competent, they would contact someone like &lt;a href=&quot;http://decker.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bert Decker&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.publicwords.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nick Morgan&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://millswyck.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Alan Hoffler&lt;/a&gt; for training. It&#039;s money well spent.

At a minimum they should practice on their own and read a book. I recommend these two: &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiredpresentations.com/2009/04/12/required-reading-youve-got-to-be-believed-to-be-heard/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;You&#039;ve Got to be Believed to Be Heard&lt;/a&gt; (Bert Decker) and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1578518199/1n9867a-20&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Working the Room &lt;/a&gt;(Nick Morgan).</description>

		<description>This is right on point. Wouldn&#039;t it be nice if these folks would just try a 6-month stint in Toastmasters before their &quot;speaking season&quot;?</description>
