Rhetoric and the Campaign | Blogging Pedagogy
Watching the Democratic debate last week made me think this primary has been a potential goldmine for rhetoric instructors.
Throughout the debate, Clinton argued that "actions speak louder than words," while Obama insisted that "words matter."Beyond this, Clinton's big attack was over plagiarishttp://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/21/videos.21feb.debate/
Here's a link to an article that looks at language and the Democratic primary a bit more: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/25/foreman.raw.politics/index.html
I'm planning on starting my class tomorrow with a discussion of language in the debates, but would also love to know if anyone else has found useful ways to incorporate the primaries into their rhetoric class.
