This blog is basically about the 2008 election. From just glancing at it you can tell that this blog supports Obama. There are various videos/commericals and usually a few sentences underneath to back up what the clip is trying to say.
This "professional" blog very much differs from the other blogs I have looked at because not only is it about politics, but there are tons of videos on it. The blogs main attraction is the commericals posted that support Obama. Directly below is a sentence or two summary sharing the point of the commerical.
An issue in this blog is gun control. There is a commerical of a hunter/NRA life member who supports Barak Obama and appreciates his choice to support gun rights. This issue is presented through a character who seems to be just a regular everyday American. I think that it is important to advertise that way because then the viewers will have an easier time relating or understanding. The commerical then touches onto different branches from such a small clip. I think that this is a great way to support Obama because it is definatly a commerical that has grabed my attention and made me respect Obama in this decsion.
Take a specific issue presented in the blog, describe how that issue is presented, and provide your own response.

It is interesting that this blog used more videos. Maybe for propaganda purposes, videos are a more appealing way to get information to people (Most of us in "the dumbest generation" don't like to read).
Also, it is interesting that they use an NRA member who supports Obama, because most NRA members are more in favor of the republicans. This may be to show that just because you may want more guns rights, does not mean that McCain is the right choice; in fact this hunter supports Obama and still feels like his rights to own guns won't be hindered with a democratic president.
