Presidential Endorsements

I believe that the Obama's presidential endorsement is more believable. In the article they wrote some problems that are being faced in this country. The problems that were being faced by the country was compared by what President Bush was done with what each candidate believes in. They wrote what each candidate was willing to do if they became President. I believe that Obama's endorsement presents a more convincing argument because it compares the beliefs of the candidates and how how they will run the country.

The Electoral College

The Electoral College in the U.S. government is a body of electors that chooses the President and the Vice President. Each state has different number of electors. It depends on the number of Senators and Representatives in their state. However, no Senator, Representatives, or officer of the U.S. government may be an elector.

The Electoral College strengths can be that our Federal System is important. It reminds us a role for states in the selection of the president. It encourages more person to person campaigning by candidates. They spend time in both big and small cities. Their will be recounts in states rather than across the country. In each state, the candidate with the most votes takes the Electoral College vote.

The Electoral College weakness can be that when the winner of the Electoral College is not the candidate who received the most votes of the people. Most Americans believe that the candidate who received the most votes should become the president. The Electoral College system is close election. It may be in subject to mischief like causing electors to be disloyal or even bribed.

I think that we shouldn't have the Electoral College. It is a system that is not very fair to the people. The Electoral College votes is based on the number of members in the Senate and in the House in their state. So smaller states with a small population have less votes than those with a bigger in population. Sometimes the winner of the Electoral College was not the candidate that won the majority vote. Most American believe that the candidate with the most vote should be the President.

Mayor Bloomberg and Term Limits

Mayor Bloomberg said that he will like to run for a third term as mayor of NYC if the term limit law is changed. I think that he should be able to mayor for possibly 12 years. He should be given the opportunity to run another term. He has done a good job as governor of New York. He is also a very liked guy in the State of New York. He held poltical positons from both the Democratic Party and the Rebulican Party. Right now we are in a crisis and I don't know how the next mayor will address this sitution.
