Purely from a public speaking standpoint, all three do fairly well.  McCain
strives for an "everyman" approach, Clinton goes for "Powerful Woman" in her
voice, and Obama is leaning toward an almost call-and-response flavor.  I
did hear Obama promise to pronounce the word "nuclear" as.well."nuclear,"
which made me chuckle.

Subject: McCain, Obama, Clinton...Who has the best grammar?

 

I am curious to see which of the candidates has the best grammar and who is
the most well-spoken. I will be listening attentively to upcoming speeches,
interviews, and press conferences. It would be nice to have a president who
has a strong command of the English language. That person will get my vote
(maybe). Any favorites?
