**In addition to a candidate's 'political readiness' to serve as president, the ability to convey those issues to the public also carries significant weight.  When answering these two questions, really focus on the language used and topics he focuses on in his speech.

1. How does this speech generate support for one party over the other?
2. After hearing this speech, would you be inspired to vote for this nominee?  Why or why not?
