[eDebate] Quote about debate topics

[Tara Tate]

I am getting ready to finish up an article on the high school topic 
selection process.  I vaguely remember reading a quote from someone (I want 
to say it was a Republican strategist or politician) that argued the most 
influential person in America was the one that decided the high school 
debate topic since it encouraged future leaders to develop positions on 
important issues.

I know so little about this quote that I can't even remember key words or 
who said it?  Anybody know? I tried Googling some vague key words but could 
not find it.

Thanks!
