Respond to Post 8

Last post for this trimester!  Please respond to someone from post 8 and react to their post about the New Hampshire primary.  Please use research from this week to back up your opinion.  You have until Friday, February 19th to make your post.

Friday, February 19th  is also your last shot at contributing to the class blog for points.  Some of you are VERY SLOW at contributing.  The majority of your classmates won't be reading this after Friday so if you post after Friday I will not be giving you points in the grade book.  Please post on time.

Please turn into me by Monday, 2/29 what you feel like is your best original post and response post.  Feel free to turn this into me earlier but not later.

February 9th is the date of the New Hampshire primary.  After there is a clear winner of the primary answer the following prompt:

Based on the results of the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primary, what type of candidates do the voters want for the general election?  Why?  What do these results mean?  Are these results representative of the country's views?  Why or why not?

You have until midnight on Wed 2/10.  I look forward to reading your insights.  ;)
