Visit each candidate’s website.
First, visit the “issue” page on each website.
On scrap paper, list all the “issues” included by each candidate (you might find a T chart helpful here).
Jot down how the issues are organized.
Now, choose two issues that both candidates address. Carefully read the candidates’ positions. Compare and contrast them on your scrap paper.
In your blog entry, write a coherent paragraph on each issue, comparing and contrasting the positions. Tell us the basic issue, where the candidates seem to agree and disagree, and who you agree (more) with and why. You should have at least one paragraph for each issue (2 paragraphs total), but you may have more if necessary.

My room
My haven
My block of peace
in a hectic world
My room
My personal disaster area
of piled clothing and blaring music
of comfortable chaos
My room
My harbor of fantasies
“Gee whiz, Ace, what kinda room is this?” asked Ace Detective’s sidekick
“I don’t know,” Ace replied, “but I like it
My room
My ongoing rationalization
Joe’s brain: Joe’s room is messy
Joe: What’s new?
My room
My responsibility
the subject of many
“Go Clean Yours
My room
My prison
the subject of many
“Go to Yours
My room
My cubicle of terror
zone of nightmares
shelter of my angst
My room
My haven
My organized chaos
My ongoing rationalization
My responsibility
My harbor of fantasies
My prison
My terror
My block of peace
in a hectic world
