Take a Lead Requires more than Being a Good Politician
Gwaltney had talked about in class how when one canidate starts to get a lead, things get a little nasty on campaigns. Candidates attacking other candidates within the presidential elections through private and personal matters. For example, Romney went Christmas shopping with his grandchildren to display more dedication to his family, as a campaign against Giuliani. Then Giuliani had uncovered some criminal records of Romney. With New Hampshire Primary six weeks away, candidates are doing anything to influence the public for a vote.I thought it's interesting because it discussed how the campaigns took a different turn with primaries coming up. Now that the candidates are officially in the race, they are attacking every weak point to get ahead. And then the whole issue on hilary. All the other democratic canidates are getting a little cruel about Hilary. With comments and personal attacks they take the only women canidate down anyway they can and did i mention she's on top with a lead. Yes a lead makes things a little complicated. What do you think, is it immature, should politicians just focus on themselves and how they can improve the country or should they step over someone to get ahead?

When the campaign starts going off topic, I always get a little disappointed. I really think candidates should stick to the issues instead of looking up candidates' criminal records or family life. Because they candidates for the presidency, we should really only be concerned with their position on the issues that will affect the American populace.
The public-those affliated with parties or not-confuse personal life decisions with those of the presidency. I believe candidates should leave out their personal lives because it affects their thoughts on political issues. The bashing between candidates is encouraged by the public. If the public pays less attention to the actual perosn and more to what they have to offer, we would probably elect better qualified candidates for the job.
