Hey Tyler! :-P
Nice blog, short, but straight forward and sends the point out, It's short sweet! Definitely can't go wrong on an emphasis on K-12 education, too bad were graduating in a year to really have it affect us, but whatever it helps :) I didn't think about listing their religions, because that could definitely have to do with a lot so good for you on that!
Cya Tyler :D
First off, nice layout with the pictures and all. As my top issue I focused on Health care and both candidates seem to acknowledge that there is a problem needing change. Energy, taxes/economy, and cooperation are all important as well. All effect how individual Americans live out their lives. Warner definitely is ahead in both polls (by a lot), but I think both candidates have experience and the leading ability needed for the job. NICE WORK!
Out of those top issues which is the most important? I mean we all know they are important. I loved how you added pictures of the candidates!!
I also agree that the pictures were a good touch to the bullet notes. The pictures help because people might not know who they are and the pictures help put a face to their names! I also liked how to you did the bullets, it kept the information organized and clear to read! It was easy to spot the similarities and differences of the candidates! Good job Tyler!!
Wow, I love your format. The pictures really add to it - how did you get them like that? I can only put pictures at the top of my posts. Well, anyway, the bullets really help to show the important information right up front. Mark Warner all the way!
how did everyone get pics to work except me?
anyway... i think everyone running for any office is concerned with the sam issues, so no surprise there... tho it is interesting how both of the were expected/part of the presidential race..hmmmm.... don't know why that's important but it just might be... also, do you think that their religions are that important? most of the stuff i found on them didn't even mention it soreligion doesnt seem to be a very big issue in the election... just a thought. :)
