Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election

This movie was very informative about the 2000 presidential election. It explained what all the confusion was about in the 2000 election which many people and myself did not understand. The movie also explain what would happen if a person was a felon or ex-felon and the twisting law that could or couldn't let someone vote. One of the other topics the movie discussed was the problems with electronic votes and also the problem with paper votes. I remember one part in the movie where the paper ballots were made to confuse people. The person would end up double punching the ballot which would then not count to the turnout of the election. There was also another part about the electronic vote and if a person was to select all four candidates on the touch screen computer all four votes would go to one candidate.
If I was a Republican I would find this movie very bias towards the Democratic party.

All Three Debates

After watching all three debates between Obama and McCain I think the most informative debate was the first debate. This is because the candidates were ready and on their toes to answer the questions with the most important information. The most interesting debate had to be the first debate again because both candidates were very defensive. John McCain also was twisting Barack Obama's words around to make him seem he was going to do the wrong thing for our country. The most difficult debate to watch was the second because it was really boring. The topics that were chosen for the candidates to talk about were not the most important topics to me. The debate that gave voters an accurate portrayal on the two candidates has to be the final debate. I think this because the candidates had their last chance to persuade the voters.

The Democratic Headquarters

How are Kennebunk voters or Democrats different than in other areas?

The woman said that it depends on the majority of the state, for example Maine's majority is caucasian. In the cities such as Boston or New York City there are many different cultures and groups of people. She also said that Mainers' are very skeptical and smart about who they vote for because they want to get to know each candidate running for President.

I think that what the woman was saying at the headquarters was very true. A person's opinion on a candidate can be very different than some one elses' because they are two different people and they grew up in two different families. Two people may both be voting for Obama and they agree on most of Obama's standings but not all of his standings.
