Brief Sheet 1

Week 1 briefing sheet:

1. Can they heal our Health care System
Thousands are on the democrat side. Obama says he'll make insurance so affordable people won't be able to resist, Clinton proposes she'll mandate that everyone get coverage and then McCain only remark is that he'll let the companies compete to keep costs down.

2. Clinton’s audiences are filled with core demographic-women, elderly, and blue-collar workers. She has a comfortable double digit lead in most polls and is running one of the most conventional campaigns.

3. "Female supporters fight push for Clinton to quit presidential race"
Top Democrats encourage Clinton to back out and clear the path for Obama. Clinton has received a greater percentage of female votes in states such as California and Ohio, but Obama has received more votes from men in pretty much every state.

4. Citizens are questioning John McCain's age at 71 years old and whether this will be an insurance issue or affect congress. McCain's temper and getting angry with situations also makes citizens nervous about voting for him because they are not sure how he will retaliate when faced with bad decisions or with other countries. Could he control his so-called "temper"?

5. In Michigan democratic voters believed there was no competition in the democratic primary so they voted in the republican primary. Now they are giving Michigan a re-vote for their democratic primary and these democrats who chose to vote in the republican primary are now excluded from the re-vote on June 3rd.
