Presidential Endorsements

McCain
McCain's endorsements just keep mentioning about how Obama is this and that. But it doesn't say how McCain is good, all they mention is what's wrong with how Obama wants to fix things. How the world will go crazy and the unbelieveable things Obama wants to do. How he doesn't know what he's doing, and McCain does. This article is mainly just criticizing how Obama will run the country and how he campains with rediculous ideas and aims to get the non mainstreem voters to vote. Saying how he appeals to the poor, and the jobless-but what about the people who aren't? This endorsement just keeps talking down Obama's side, tactics, ideas, and everything he does. Having a few sarcastic remarks, this doesn't really talk about how McCain is the better rival.

Obama
This article talks about how Obama is the right president due to the right reasons and how his ideas will help clean up the mess Bush left the country in. This endorsement takes the tactic of compare and contrast, in the end saying Obama has the better side. Mentioning McCain says this and does that, while Obama doesnt but does that and this. They say the truth in the way McCain campaining - "particularly ugly". Obamas endorsement writes more about how Obama wants to change what Bush has left behind for the better, while saying McCains side of how he would fix things. I believe this endorsement is more convincing than McCains, when McCain's is mostly about criticizing the opponent. This endorsement talks more about the facts and issues more and addresses things that the people want to read and know the difference between the two Seneters point of view.

The Electoral College

Electoral College:
The Electoral College consists of 538 elected representatives who get voted by the people of the state. They are the ones who formally choose who the President and Vice President of the United States is. The elected Electors who get in the Electoral College are technically free to vote for anyone who is running. But in pledge they have to vote for the specific candidate which the states popular vote favored for. Each candidate must atleast have 270 electoral votes in order to win the Presidency.

Strengths:
Some people argue that the Electoral College is an important and unique quality of the federal system, which protects the rights of the smaller states. Many constitutional amendments have been shown in Congress looking for a different way to vote--a direct popular vote; however no proposal has ever successfully passed both houses.

Weakness:
Some candidates can fail to get the popular vote by all the states, but still win the election. Due to the Electoral College who do not vote correctly, according to each states popular vote--this has happened in 1876, 1888 and 2000. People argue that the Electoral College is undemocratic and gives the swing states (states that are undecided where the candidates have no overwhelming support) unfair influence in voting for the President and Vice President.

Mayor Bloomberg and Term Limits

I don't think Mayor Bloomberg should be allowed to get another (third) term. I don't think that any represtentative should go overboard of the years they are allowed to be. I think that they should let new people be elected and have a turn. New and younger people might have new ideas, that they can try out. We don't have to stick with the same person like President Bush and the election to change him to Kerry.
