If politics as practiced is talk, then how does a political figure—especially an American President—talk politics? If someone can be all style and no substance, is there any actual political substance to style? Talking Politics looks at the alpha and omega of presidential image, its highs—Lincoln at Gettysburg—and lows—"W" at any microphone—demystifying the spun mists of political "message" on which an institution like the American presidency has always depended.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Must read!,
This review is from: Talking Politics: The Substance of Style from Abe to "W" (Paradigm (Chicago, Ill.), 6.) (Paperback)
this book is an excellent commentary about politics and I feel talkingpolitics.com is another great place to continue the conversation and political chatter that this book will provoke.
