If you've noticed the political campaigns this year, they haven't exactly been rich with issues and evidence. You're more likely to hear emotions, anger, empathy and fear.

He is professor of psychology and psychiatry at Emory University, and author of The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation (2007), an investigation into the role of emotion in determining the political life of the nation.
