I have 2 assignments to do it : The first is choose one candidate’s site and identify the candidate’s argument.

Include the following in your submission:

1. your chosen candidate
2. your candidate’s argument (vote for me because _____________)

– the 2nd is Reflection:

Since this assignment focuses on the web sites of political candidates, I thought it would be useful to ask you about your interest in politics. But—don’t tell me which candidates you support! I don’t want to know!

Without naming any candidates or political parties, tell me how much you pay attention to politics.

Are you the kind of person who

• starts following the presidential election as soon as the first person of either party announcing they are running?
• starts paying attention a month or two before the election?
• pays attention to state and local politics—governor, mayor, school board—but not to state or national?

Or perhaps you are the sort of person who doesn’t pay any attention to any of it.

For those of you outside the United States, you can either tell me about whether you pay attention to US politics or whether you pay attention to politics in your own country.

As always, there is no right or wrong answer.
