Romney, you can’t govern by bullet point

  1. Is it the technology of slide projection that is the problem? Or, the use of incomplete sentences? Or the tendency to decorate every slide with "chart junk" (as Tufte calls it)?

    I agree with Ruth Marcus about sentence fragments and doing an entire meeting in agenda mode, but I love the ability to put graphs, data and complete sentences in front of the audience. Every knife cuts both ways...
