I thought Kaila made a very good point about the negative portrayal of Daisy. Before reading Kaila’s post, I had always thought of Daisy as a good character, because Henry Burton always described her as having such a nice personality. I never seriously considered her campaign contributions. Now that I do, I realize that she does appear to be a “waste of space”. It is interesting how the narrator’s point of view is so easy for readers to adopt as their own.
On the other hand, I disagreed with some points in Janine’s post. She seemed to think that it was not fair for Bill Clinton’s personal life to be made known to the public. I think that the way candidates handle their own lives is very important to take into consideration when deciding whether to support them. If candidates are irresponsible with personal issues, then, most likely, they will be irresponsible with national affairs as well. When someone runs for president, they should know that their private lives are going to be scrutinized by the public.
