I was interested in reading Yessica's blog about Rick Perry backing off in the televised debates. I thought good information was provided and it was very informative. I wasn't very into politics before taking this class but I am finding myself to be more interested and keeping up with what is going on in the news. I agree with Yessica about the debates just being a low blow game between the candidates and wish they would stick to the topics we would rather hear about like the economy and job creation. I, like most others, watched the video that has now gone viral of Rick Perry in New Hampshire; I was not sure what to take of it at first. I believe he was honestly just a man that was feeling the crowd and got excited. But no matter what these candidates do, they will be criticized and it will be used against them. I like Yessica's idea about bringing back the stump speeches that way we can get to know the candidates on a one on one level and they answer our questions personally. In my opinion politics is not going to change anytime soon. The debates are still going to be adults hitting each other below the belt; I just try my hardest to erase all of the negative and use the positive ways each one wants to change the country and vote for the one I think will do the best....
Thank you Yessica, I enjoyed reading your blog....
