Free post-economic is the most popular topic in American Election

today is free post, the article that I choosed is from the link below:
http://news.sina.com.cn/w/2008-01-16/093714755124.shtml

It shows us that the candidate in each group talk about something about the economics, the candidate in republican group named Willard Mitt Romney went to the automobile plant in Detroit, and also went to the unemployment worker's family for visitation. Basically he wants to show that he cares about the problem of unemployment worker. and all the problems that I said above are about American Economics.
Another focus is about the house, subprime mortgage crisis is the most siginificant problem in America now, the candidate in Democrat Hillary and Obama gave the presentation about the plan to solve this problem.
Also they desgin an economic topic which focus on the specific aspect to attack the rival's policy.

Basically I still support the Democrat even from this article, because the for the unemployment rate, the candidate in republican group said they would develop the economic and reduce the unemployment rate, or give them the insurance of unemployment; it is too blanket, how can they do it specifically? sometimes you can't avoid the unemployment rate; another thing is that many countries have this kind of problem, not just America, the president of each country tries their best to do that, but they haven't solved this problem yet, how can the candidate in republican solve this problem faster? and the unemployment won't affect the American economic too much.

But for the subprime mortgage crisis , it is really a serious problem now, it affects the American economic too much, it reduces the value of American dollars, the candidate in Democrat gave the plan to solve this problem should be good for America, and if they can find the right way, they can solve the problem faster than what the candidate in republican did. Also this is the problem that should be solved as soon as possible,otherwise American economic will decrease very fast.

analysis

I will say something about the video that I have posted.
It is the news from my home country, China. Basically the position of the video is
that the most important factor in American Election is money. The politic struggle is also a "money war".Examples of this are provided. For the 2008 American election, the amount of money that each candidate owns is connected to their popularity. Looking at the history of American elections, shows that the money demand is higher and higher since we have had television.
This is related and relevant to my topic, because the video is talking about the current American election. In addtion to my research on the internet, it is also a very important factor in the American Election.The reason why this is related and relevant is that the video says because the leading candidates according to the video have the most money.
Basically, I think there is a little bias in the video. The spokesman enlarges on the significance of money, and the money might be important in the politic struggle each election, but it shouldn't be the most important thing. The Republican candidate:Romney, he put a huge amount of his own money into television and print advertisement. He still lost out in the polls. The video doesn't mention this. In trying to show American Elections are unfair, the video doesn't provide all the information. it represents the Chinese view point as fence-sitters. We might be more flexible, if the new president is not good for China. Then we can say the disadvantage of election is money. If the new president is good for China, we can say that the money is very important in American elections.
