With the large number of candidates campaigning to become the next president, it can be difficult to distinguish various candidates from on another. Using Online NewsHour information available at http://www.pbs.org/newshour/vote2008/index.html along with other Internet and primary sources, answer each question below and create a candidate profile that describes one of the people campaigning to be president. Be prepared to share your candidate profile with classmates, and stage a mini-debate.
The candidate I am profiling is:
The political party this candidate represents is:
What other political offices has this person had in his/her career, if any?
What prior political and leadership experience does this candidate have that makes him/her qualified to be the next president?
What is this candidate's point of view on major issues, such as:
The Iraq War
national security
education
healthcare
the economy
taxes
global warming
nuclear weapons
other topics of concern to me.
