I was trying to avoid all the political articles and look for something more interesting, but I finally gave in. I chose this particular article because it surprised me in how certain it sounded- most articles were still asking how things will turn out. This article seemed absolutely confident in Romney. After reading it, I think it has a good point. It relied mainly on logos, listing the main problems which each of the other candidates and pointing out what Romney had to offer. I have noticed, based on the news lately, that most of this seems true. Ron Paul has been running for president for a long time, so I doubt he's ever going to win. Obviously there were the scandals with Gingrich and all that stuff. Also, few of the candidates seem moderate enough to win over any independent voters. Basically, I agree with the article when it says that Romney will almost certainly be nominated. The only thing, I think, that could have stopped him was his relative moderateness compared to the other candidates, but in this case everyone seems to have major flaws, and Romney remains as the most likely person. I still think other things could happen, since only one state has voted, so perhaps I am not as confident as this article was in the way that events will play out. However, it was a well-written article with good points, and I am pretty sure its predictions will turn out accurate.

good job kelly! i think the author of the article was definitely bias towards Romney and have very strong reasons as to why everyone should vote for him
ReplyDeleteNowadays if you're going to run you've got to have hundreds and thousands of dollars, and Romney has the money. But the other candidates are most definitely going use his wealth as a weakness, and make him seem like a super-wealthy candidate who the voters and common citizens can't relate to.
