College Debate Coach has Advice for Candidates

Even on the level of a Presidential debate, some basic college instructions could help the candidates win over the voters. Cameron Sublett from Santa Barbara City College says short, concise points will help each candidate connect with the voters easier that longer drawn out messages.”The object is to get something in the 24 hour news cycle that is repeated,” said Sublett.He also stressed consistency. “I think for Mitt Romney consistency means coming off as likable but at the same time offering up a clear alternative to the President’s failed economic policies. Keeping things focused on the economy. Barrack Obama has to consistently paint himself as a person in control who has done his best to manage a bad situation he inherited,” said Sublett.KEY News Senior Reporter John Palminteri has our story.
