I don't think it's prudent to try and predict a President's behavior based on their apparent "personality". #arapgov13

Obama should be willing to compromise on some issues, but must retain a strong influence over the people and branches of gov't.#arapgov13

An effective member of congress is one who acts in the best interest of the people whom they represent.#arapgov13

The ADA was a good move toward improving the lives of the disabled, but should have been more specific regarding employment. #arapgov13

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

I would agree that many politician seek only the advancement of their own political careers and not the betterment of the nation.#arapgov13

The most important role the media plays is that of scorekeeper. They show where government officials stand in the public eye. #arapgov13

I expect voting to be the maximum of my participation in government; however I am not opposed to the idea of helping a campaign #arapgov13

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

@ismith1031, I agree, you have to vote for what you believe in and what means most to you. #arapgov13

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

A vote for a minor party candidate is not wasted as long as you believe in them, you never know what can happen. #arapgov13

The winner take all feature forces candidates to concentrate on specific states and demographics, rather than the majority. #arapgov13

Hamilton tells the people of New York that the Articles of Conf. cannot protect the unity of the states due to its inefficiencies. #fed15

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

Hamilton talks about the Judiciary branch and the fact that it possess the least amount of power and influence among branches. #fed78

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

Again Madison talks about the branches of governments and how separation of powers will help to protect legitimacy in the government. #fed47

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

Essentially, Madison is describing the theory of separation of powers and how it works, and partially the role of government. #fed51

There will be more of a focus on negativive campaigning, it is a close race, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. #arapgov13

Obama: Start being more aggressive.

As long as Biden doesn't live up to his reputation of saying something rediculous, I think he'll win the debate. #arapgov13

[Connor Murphy @ConnorMurphy20]

I expect Obama to win the first presidential debate. He has to worry about maintaining people's expectations, he has more to lose#arapgov13
