Who are They Really Speaking To?

While reading chapter 6, I learned a lot about the actual speaking process, and kind of realized how brave a person must be in order to run for president. Not only for having to get up and speak in front of millions of people, but for also just putting themselves out there! When it comes to running for president both Obama and McCain are trying to get all the votes they can, meaning that they have to play out to all the different "audiences." The chief function is to simply pinpoint which issues should be, or would be better off coming up in a specific area! I can only imagine how hard it must be to make sure you dont say something wrong in a certain area, because then you have the worry of losing votes all together! Public speaking is very hard for me, so no one has to worry about me running for president ever~!
