Answer the question and shut up
Friday, March 26th, 2010
I recently watched a city council candidate forum. It doesn’t matter where … it could have been anywhere. No special burning issue, just old smoldering ones. Everyone one of the candidates vowed to “listen to the people” and try to keep property taxes down.
Two of the candidates stood out. It wasn’t what they said it was how they said it. Both of those candidates answered the questions and then shut up. The other candidates all felt a moral obligation to attempt to use every second allotted, and babbled on and on and on.
Candidates … when at a debate or forum or whenever you are answering questions …. answer the question and shut up. It will reap you big rewards.
