final predictions

I found that the McCain polls have been swinging up and down. I think that Palin made him go up and then the political cartoons, and how they affected the public’s opinion about Palin, which made the polls go down. Whereas Obama stayed constant, although when McCain swings up he is higher than Obama. The only thing is that he stays up only for a short period of time. So for McCain’s standpoint it is all about timing. I think that Obama is going to win, because I made a graph and his line is positive, and McCain’s line is negative. The only problem is that, polls tend to be skew so it is really hard to be correct.

Offshore Drilling

Offshore drilling is important, because if we find oil than we won’t have to use other countries oil. Which means we won’t have to spend as much buying oil from other countries, therefore, gas won’t be so expensive. Offshore Drilling is bad economically, because it costs so much to drill. Offshore Drilling is beneficial economically, because then we won’t have to pay all of the money to other countries to get oil. Each candidate think are for it, but only in certain areas. I say that we drill as much as possible because if we drill than we won’t have to pay as much to the other countries, and this means we will come out ahead.

Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear Weapons are important because they give us power, and they give us protection. This is bad economically because of their cost to make them. Nuclear Weapons are good economically because if used properly, and used at the correct time, we won’t have to worry about the cost of war. John McCain and Obama are for Nuclear Weapons, and they both stand in the correct position compared to their political parties. I would like for them to keep nuclear weapons for protection of a nuclear war happening.

Global Warming

Global Warming is important because it can alter the human, animal and plant races. It is also important because it can cause climate change, and cause things such as droughts and other climate changes. An economically bad thing about fixing global warming is how it costs more to go green than to stay normal. An economically good thing about Global Warming is, in the end we won’t have to pay for gas because we won’t need it. Both candidates believe global warming is a real subject and is man-made. Obama and McCain stand in the correct position on global warming compared to the Democratic/Republican Party. I would like for them to come up with things such as solar, wind, and offshore drilling, and for continuing the search for an alternative fuel source.
