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.

My position
The American Presidential Election is full of uncertainty, but in my opinion, I support the Democrat Party. I don't want the next president to be a Repulican. There are couple of reasons.
First, I did the research for the different features of each of the candidates on Internet. The links is shown below:http://news.sohu.com/s2008/2008meiguodaxuan/
For America, the Democrats have more advantages than Republicans. Also, the Democrats are good for the middle class. In the USA, the number of Democrats should be more than the number of Republicans. Based on their positions, the Democratic candidates want to decrease the tax rate. This will increase supply, then increase the output to other countries. I think it is important for economic development.Also, the Democratic candidates said they would let Americans enjoy the Medical Insurance System. Good health insurance makes Americans feel safe.
For the whole world, the Democrats disagree with the war, based on the position which is shown on their website. they generally resist the war with Iraq. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama have been planning to recall the army from Iraq. It is good for the peace of the whole world, and also it is good for America, because more and more countries will support the USA.
There are still two more reasons, I'll talk about them next time, thank for viewing my blog.

Response Piece
Publication: from Hang Zhou Daily newspaper
Author: Xinhua newspaper office
Link to the article: http://news.sohu.com/20080104/n254463709.shtml
Generally, the author said there was fierce competition between the Democratic party and the Republican party, the two main political parties in the American elections. Electorates are not satisfied with the current political situation. Based on this investigation, about 71% think that the country has wandered off the path of the truth. Only 30% of the people would support Bush if he were to run again. Almost all of the electorates want to change the current state. They expect the coming president, to have the ability to change the orientation of American development. Based on the analyst’s viewpoint, Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, the senator of New York state, and Republican,Michael Dale Huckabee, are the three candidate with a highest ratings in the polls because they provide new ideas for American economics and politics.The American media and analysts all agree with the following statements:
1. Bush can’t be the President's for a third term. Richard Cheney, the Vice President of America, is not a candidate this year. This is the first time that the president and/or the vice president before haven’t been one of the candidates since 1928. This causes uncertainty.
2. The highest possibility for the candidates who can be next president in Democratic party is Clinton, the second best candidate is Obama. In the Republican party, the best candidate is Huckabee, but there is no big difference between other candidates’ support rates.
3. The most important thing is that most part of electorates hasn’t made a decision to support a specific candidate, so the opinion polls can’t accurately reflect the strength of the candidates.
This article was written on Jan.4th,2008, since then, the situation has changed.Huckbee has lost his lead because of the lack of support and Senator John Mcain is now the leading Republican Party candidate.However,Senator Mcain supports the war in the Iraq, Unlike the other candidates.
All things in the article are the position of the author. Basically I agree with them. The current state of America must change, not only politically, but also economically. The subprime mortgage financial crisis and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar have a big influence on American economics. Maybe it is a policy which is made by the American president, but it also has a big impact on other countries’ development, such as China, because America is China’s second largest trade partner. If America decrease imports from China, export will also decrease. The author listed some possibilities for next president, and I support the Democratic party, especially Hillary Clinton. Because they maintain piece and want to stop the war with Iraq. Their policies are good for the middle class, and level out the differences between the rich and the poor, which is the disadvantage of capitalism.

Introduction
Hi, everyone , this is my first blog~~welcome~
I chose the American Election as my topic, because I am interested in this kind of things, I can also learn something from this topic, American election is concernd with American politics and economics. Lots of countries in the world are influenced by this election, I will know such kind of things through the research in coming months. It is kind of important news in the world, i think it is easy for me to find information from Internet and newspaper, but it is a bit hard for me to find it from books in library if i want to know the newest thing, because this is news. In other words, I can find history of American election from library, I think it should be useful for my topic. Another hard thing is I have to translate, Finding Chinese resource is much easier to seek and read for me, but this is English class, so after I find approprite resource I have to translate them word by word, this is such a challenge to me.
There are some differences between North American coverage and media from my home, the first thing is the language , the media from my home written in Chinese, but the North American coverage should be written in English.Another thing is different position, in America, different group support different president depends on their advantage such as Economics , life and so on, but the media from my home mainly depends on the Chinese advantage.
That's the introduction of my topic~thank you for reading.
