      abstract = {This book explores speeches by American presidents.  Domestic public presidential speechmaking helps us  understand the pressures, priorities, and targeted  audiences of different presidencies. Many administrations  generally work to reinforce already existing support though  some may try to reach out to new areas. Census areas help  us better understand where presidents prioritize speeches  in certain areas of the country. Designated Market Areas,  or media markets, allow us to look at presidential  speechmaking without geographical constraints and focus on  areas of population concentrations. Electoral College  results show that most administrations prefer to give  speeches in places where they have the most electoral  support to reinforce their bases. The chapter on vacation  locations explores how some presidents use Camp David or  their homes as places to actively speak, while some  administrations just use them as retreats. Foreign speeches  allow us to see that most presidents prefer to speak in  openly free countries more than other places.},
