Pink Pinot!

     Blogger, Eileen Smith, of In The Pink Texas wrote a humorous article concerning the presidential debate and its main theme: foreign policy. She felt that foreign policy is the main niche of Mitt Romney because he is constantly seen showing his concern by biking through the French country. However, Eileen quickly changes the subject. She mentions that Mitt Romney has pulled ahead in the battleground tracking poll; Romney's 49 percent trumps Obama's 47 percent, and these numbers are subject to a three percent margin error. Eileen calms the fears of her readers, and she mentions the unreliability of these polls. She references the polls from the 2004 election with Democratic nominee, John Kerry, and the past Republican president, George W. Bush. The 2004 polls indicated that Bush was pulling slightly ahead of Kerry, yet the voters knew that Kerry stood no chance against bush. Eileen concludes her blog post by asking a series of humors questions that she would like the debaters to answer. "General Zod remains a real problem, not only to our nation but the entire universe. So my question to you is, where is Superman?"

     Eileen's speaks directly to her liberal readers. She addresses their concern over the battleground polls, and she makes an attempt to douse the fires. Her article contains a link that references the current standing of the polls that her blog centers around. This makes her blog more creditable. Eileen correctly notifies her readers that the percentages have a three percent margin of error, which further increases her writing credentials. She has one case here: Eileen makes it a mission to morph the debate into a satire. She pokes fun at Romney by mentioning his phony facade, and she feels that his shaky platform centers around his vague concept of foreign policy: his idea of foreign policy is a biking trip to France.

     I align myself with Eileen. I too share liberal beliefs, and I feel that Romney has no substance as a president. The debates themselves seem to linear in their topic choices; you can only ask a question concerning foreign policy so many times before it gets played out. I love her sense of humor. Moreover, I would love the debaters to discuss a question that I feel the nation should have answered. Why did relinquish Pluto's title as a planet in our solar system? Was it really necessary, guys?
