Presidential Politics
So, I've been thinking recently: Is it OK to write about the Presidential elections day after day? What do you think?
On the one hand the elections probably represent something far more important than two, or more, people vying for the top position in the U.S. Government. It presents an opportunity to debate the values and policies that drive our nation.
On the other hand, the same stuff is often rehashed day after day in national elections. Should we pull out of Iraq? What about national health care coverage? How about national service? It's probably OK to write about these issues periodically, but not every day. What do you think?
Just because politicians and the national media select several themes to highlight over and over does not mean that political platforms are so tightly constrained. Do you think that it would be interesting to write about a different component of these platforms, providing provocative questions to encourage discussion about these platforms on a regular basis? Why or why not?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
