That is an interesting thought.
There used to be an emphasis on being able to be quick on your feet and to be able to argue well with your opponents (hence so many lawyers). Now it seems that it is more important to present a certain image and to be able to stay on script. I think we see more "celebrity" candidates too; actors, athletes, newscasters, etc..
