Primaries

Last night, primaries were held in VT, RI, OH, and TX. As a result of the primaries, Senator John McCain (AZ) secured the Republican nomination for President.

Senator Hillary Clinton (NY) won in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island. Senator Barack Obama (IL) won Vermont. It was (and still is) a heated race.

Discussion Questions:

1) What positive aspects would John McCain bring to the presidency? Negatives?
2) What positive aspects would Hillary Clinton bring to the presidency? Negatives?
3) What positive aspects would Barack Obama bring to the presidency? Negatives?
4) There are a lot of questions about how the Texas contest ran, with primaries and caucuses held the same day. Research this issue. What are some potential problems with this?
