UT Professor Blogs on Democratic Presidential Nomination Race
 |
Professor Jeffrey Tulis, a specialist on American politics, wrote a recent blog analyzing the role of inspirational leadership versus specific policymaking proposals and accomplishments in the current battle between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton.
He argues that Obama has a better grasp of the role of the presidency in providing national leadership than Clinton who is more focused on specific policy proposals. Tulis is the author of the highly acclaimed The Rhetorical Presidency and is finishing a book on institutional deference in American constitutional politics.
