My original blog dealing with Al Gore was not updated so I have chosen a new blog to follow. The new blog is called Election Geek. This blog has all sorts of news, perspectives, polls, articles, and everything else dealing with the 2008 election. It is a very informative news blog, but it is also very interesting. Each post focuses on a single problem or issue. I liked this method because it is easier to understand and get a hold on that topic. When the blog talks about a whole debate, it is hard to pinpoint what each candidate’s exact response was to an issue.
This week, one of the posts discussed Obama’s side of the debate last night, and the other talked about the voter discrepancies in Ohio. Both were very interesting posts. The debate post talked about all of Obama’s key issues that he was going to discuss throughout the debate. It kind of inferred that Obama knew that John McCain was going to try to attack him. In doing this, McCain would seem like the stronger candidate and therefore, could possible win back some of his lost votes. Although, after seeing the debate last night, McCain did indeed attack Obama, Obama’s plan for Main Street and the economy of our nation was still much stronger than McCain’s. Obama plans to setup a four part plan of attack for the strengthening of the economy and the middle class. Obama's Economic Relief Video details the whole plan, and it is adressed by Obama himself.First, he plans to stabilize our financial system. Secondly, he wants to provide relief to communities everywhere. He also wants to provide relief to families, and help the struggling homeowners. I think Obama seems to have a better grasp on the whole situation. The blog also said how confused McCain has been since the whole crisis began. I feel that after the debate, Obama won.
The most recent blog dealt with the voters in Ohio. It is an article from the Associated Press. It talks about how one out of every three new voters will be questioned about their voter registration. So far, 200,000 people have been but on a court list because their voter information does not match their social security or motor-vehicle information. I think that this is very interesting, and I cannot wait to hear more information about this problem.
Fianlly, this Poll Tracker, allows you to see the percentages of votes between Obama and McCain.

I looked at the blog "election" and i know what you meant by how it was easy to understand and such. i personally think that some blogs are hard to understand because of all the different topics they cover, but this blog helped me understand. Also, the "poll tracker" was a big help!
