1. The blog I followed was posted on the Caucus, NY Times. The Blog is named Palin on Abortion and Gays. This blog talks about Palin and her views on mostly abortion, speaking a little about gays too. Palin strongly supports pro-life and she shows this with keeping her baby Trig and having her 17 year old daughter not abort her baby. The thing this blog focuses on the most is the fact that Palin was very fuzzy on the topic of abortion while being interviewed by Katie Couric.
2. This professional blog differs a lot from the blog I read about Jamie Lynn Spears. This blog is written in a different manner and is not just gossip. Since it is about the presidential campaign, many more people read it and comment on it too. This blog was very interesting and made me think a little differently on Palin after reading it.
3. The interview between CBS' newscaster, Katie Couric and Palin about abortion was the biggest issue presented in this blog. It was presented by actually showing the interview in text. Katie Couric asks Palin the question, "If a 15-year-old is raped by her father, do you believe it should be illegal for her to get an abortion, and why?" While trying to answering this question, Palin does not completely state an answer. She keeps mentioning how she is Pro-life but she does not give a clear cut answer. I think that if she wants to stand behind her ground and say that she is Pro-life she should be clear with her answers and say that. If there are ifs and buts then she needs to restate her thoughts and say she is Pro-choice. I did not like how she was fuzzy about this issue because this is a very important issue and effects women everyday.

Your blog about Palin was very interesting. I agree that if Palin states that she is pro-life, she should answer the interview questions without being fuzzy. This shows weaknesses with her opinions and her views about topics like abortion. When you are running for vice president of the United States, you need to have definite opinions about topics.
