Please help! A wealthy businessman, Patrick Ott, is campaigning for Governor of Florida. During a debate he states, "I will use the leadership and financial skills I acquired as a successful businessman to restructure the state system, eliminating waste and inefficiency." Which of the following is it most important for voters to do in evaluating these statements? Review Ott's record in business. Agree with Ott's position on key issues. Analyze Ott's lifestyle and spending. Research Ott's education and degrees.



Answer :

His lifestyle is irrelevant to how well he can fix the nation's problems.

Whether or not he is a good politician is not relevant to the point that he is a successful businessman.

Whether or not he is qualified to be a businessman is not as important as whether he is actually a good businessman.

If you want to see whether he is a good businessman (because that's the basis of his argument) you would have to review his record in business, simple as that.
