The Uniter vs The Divider

My article, "The Uniter vs The Divider", about the use of story by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, has been headlined in OpEdNews.

"As Hillary Clinton learns to tell her story, and for the first time generates genuine enthusiasm among her supporters, she also runs the risk of being seen as 'the divider'. Meanwhile if Barack Obama is to continue to be seen as 'the uniter', he must learn to tell a wider set of stories, including those of gun owners and small-town America."

As I read this article now knowing Obama to be the chosen candidate, I must admit that it saddens me to realise that combined, Hilary and Obama would be the perfect candidate. I hope that Obama continues along his path incorporting some of the other democratic ideas put forward by Hilary, and I'd like to congratulate her on a truly commendabe fight.

Now it's important to run together!

I've added a series of prediction posts on my weblog (in french), about the results of US elections, from the point of view of storytelling.

interesting comparison of their storytelling styles - and I would have to agree, mostly.

Remember that you are better telling a story you have experienced than one you have not. Sure, anyone can lern to be a better storyteller, but you still won't be relatable telling a tale you have not experienced in some way (or have nothing comparable)
