chapter 12 blog post
1. I think that it is not the party that the candidate is running for it is the candidate themselves and what they stand for. What makes a great leader in my opinion is when they say they are going to do something they back it up. They truly love their Country and the people who live here. They are not corrupt nor do they try to sneak around and lie to the public.
2. Franklin D Roosevelt was the 32nd president and the only one to serve four terms. He worked extremely hard to end the Great Depression and created the New deal. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and he almost doubled the size of the U.S with the Louisiana Purchase and consolidated power in the federal government when it was necessary.
3. Andrew Jackson's being elected was considered the rise of a common man to office. He was the one man that decided to move on the Native Americans and the Trail of Tears. He also had a strong fight against the national bank.

chapter 10 blog post
1. I think that if Gore won the popular vote, which he did, then he should have been the President. Though he did not get the Presidency Bush did. There was the whole deal with Florida and the votes but I think that they should have left it alone.
2. I don't necessarily think that fundraising is too important in elections but they do need the fundraising. If the candidates didn't have fundraising they would have a hard time finding ways to pay for their campaigns and people would not know who they wanted to vote for. Yes I think that some candidates would or could be good ones and could not come up with the needed money to campaign like they need to. Maybe they could get sponsors or something like that. I think that could be a possible solution.
3. I think that most young people now are not really that interested in politics or in voting. I guess they think that it doesn't really matter whether they vote or not the president will still get elected no matter what. Maybe if there was some way to get the younger generation more interested in politics then they would be more likely to vote. Show them that their votes and voices actually count for something and that they aren't just another ballot in the box.
