Senior Citizens
A lot of people voted for Obama, but there was one group that mostly did not vote for him. The Senior Citizens , or people over the age of 65, did not vote for Obama. one of the main issues with voters over 60 was their morals. these people have been raised with old-fashioned morals, they are against gay marriage, abortion and other main issues that America faces today. one other issue that is not that great is race, most of the people that were asked if race was the issue why they were not voting for Obama denied it, but they did say that they thought that it was an issue for other people, such as friends and family. Senior Citizens also like the heath care plans that McCain would have put in place, and when it comes to health, seniors are all for it.

For our product, we are going to make a calendar.
we have 2 ideas for calendars:
1- a full sides normal calendar like the ones you see at all your local stores
- each page will have a picture of a location where we got information on.
- there will be a little box with abour 1 or 2 paragraphs of writing based on our research question.
-the pictures will also be very pleasing to look at and the writing will be enjoyable to read.
- it wont have a very large academic feel, it will be something that you WANT hanging in your house.
2- calendar that is half the size of a full sixed callendar
-very similar to the first calendar. but the differance is taht it will have the tides on it.

5. Election Reflection (that rhymes..that was unintentional)
Pt. 1
1. I was not very surprised of the turnout of the election. I was fairly sure that Obama was going to win. The reason I was fairly sure that he was going to win, is because I had run some simulations on a website that is dedicated to running simulations. I also noticed that Obama, according with allot of polls and other information, Obama had most of the large “swing” or “battle ground” states, as well as the states with the larger amount of votes were leaning towards him.
2. I hope that we can get out of Iraq, in a way that it is peaceful and that is effective and I hope that we can start resolving issues here at home and when things are good at home, then we can go and get in other people’s business, but only with a really good excuse.
3. What kind of “change” will we go through and how will it take place?
Pt. 2
1. I think I have been growing in the amount of civil knowledge I have. I think that this humanities class has opened my eyes to the world of politics that are around us. I am glad because I can actually carry on a descent conversation about politics. There is still a lot to learn tho.
2. Just talking about issues in general. Having discussions are always good, and the blogs help broaden our scope of what is happening in the world.
3. I think we should have more discussions.
4. I was glad that I could actually talk about politics. A year ago I would have not even cared about who won or anything to do with politics, and now I do.
