1. Provide a brief description of the blog and a text hyperlink to the blog.
JohnMcCain.com - McCain-Palin 2008
This blog, attached to the official site of John McCain, follows the campaign directly and descriptively. The blog displays McCain-Palin community events, advertisements promoting John McCain, and statements on radio and/or television. The most recent posts focus on television campaign ads hosted by youtube. As the campaign grows more intense and heated between Barack Obama and John McCain, more blog entries are posted to keep fresh updates to videos and speeches that promote John McCain. Featured posts are off to the right of the blog, showing videos of Palin and McCain giving important speeches to promote their campaign and focus on important issues they will strive to fix.
2. How does this "professional" blog differ from blogs you have taken a look at up to this point?
The "professional" standpoint of this blog allows McCain-Palin followers to have a closer view of the campaign. It helps moderate citizens who are considering both Obama and McCain to discover McCain's strengths, and Obama's weaknesses. The site has a completely serious standpoint, lacking humor and immaturity, and allows American citizens themselves to comment on the selected post, giving their own political opinion and compliments. The blog keeps followers and considering citizens up-to-date with positive McCain-Palin activities.
3. Take a specific issue presented in the blog, describe how that issue is presented, and provide your own response.
One of the most recent posts, posted at 12:43 PM on 10/2/2008, attacks Biden on what he may say during the Vice Presidential debate on October 2, 2008 (tonight). Any Debate between two opposing characters is an issue that must be taken seriously and cautiously between the political activists. Both parties are struggling to attack one another, winning popular demand by their citizens and viewers. The video tagged onto the post, titled "Embarrass", shows the viewers that Biden has no idea "what he is talking about". The makers of the video also proclaim Biden stated Hillary would've been a better running mate, making the watchers think twice about Biden's self-esteem upon himself. The American people want a vice president that is completely sure of himself and is ready to lead alongside the president, and the republican party will stop at nothing to show Biden is not that type of person. During the Vice Presidential Debate, the two "pitbulls" (Biden and Palin) will be going face to face, stating their opinions on solving issues without shocking the audience.

If I was a John McCain supporter, I would most probably find this blog appealing and interesting. It seems like it has a good mix of articles, some containing McCain's plans, others slamming the Obama campaign. Considering that it is meant to be a bias blog, one can concur that many of the arguments that are presented are filled with stretched truths. Of course, this is perfectly alright for someone who already supports McCain, but I would say that an independent voter would prefer a more neutral blog. The truth is that there are hundreds of little personal issues such as Biden's quote that you mentioned, that are either untrue or unnecessary. There are many out there slamming each of the four people involved in the presidential campaign.
