In My collage of the Democratic Party I used there family as a base. In both candidate you can see that they love there family and put them first. All long the Champaign Obama talked of how much he missed his family and you can tell that he cares much for them. This shows there moral are based upon there family











In my collage of the Republican Party I guns and the death plenty. I put the guns an Palin holding one, you show the fact that she I fine with holding a gun and to her it is a part of her everyday life. I put the death plenty because McCain wants to enforce it, I don’t agree with this. I put a picture of the war to show that McCain voted with Bush for this war and I’m not so sure that he is ready to end it.

I choose to tract to polls of New Jersey. It is still a battle ground state and can go either way in the 2008 election. Even though Obama is leading in the polls, There is still a chance that McCain can win. All of these battle ground states a worth fighting for. So each of the candidates spend a good amount of time campaigning there. I want to track these polls to see a better idea of who is going to will in one of these, I choose New Jersey and will predict who will win.
