Dean reflection and responce on the article

Dean's visit I thought was really interesting, because with Ed leg's visit I felt that deans was more informative in a way. I realize that yes he tried to find ways out of answering specific questions, but overall the information that he did share with us I found to be interesting. The one thing that really annoyed me was the fact the he wasn't always exactly honest when it came to answering questions. I wonder if he just assumed that we didn't have a lot of knowledge with the election so he used that to his advantage, but either way it was informative. The only question that I felt kind of worrisome about was the power plan question. I felt that yes he did agree with the thought of more nuclear power plant use, but wither he meant just in other states, or possibly in time here in Maine.

Article Responce: I personally agree that if we were to have a novice governer it might be better in a way, because they are young in the government and dont have the long years of people telling them how to do things and how to change their views. WIth someone new chances are is that they have done their research because knowing that their new to this they want to make sure they have some sort of power abovve the others. I'm not saying that having a very experienced wouldnt be a good idea, I just know that sometimes the inexperienced person might be the more experienced one when they get their time to show it.

Dean Scontras Questions

After talking to other represenatives and goverment people I have realized that many of them have choosen to work in the government not because of the pay or benifits, but because they really care in making a change in the world, and for you, do you feel that way? and do you think most other people that you know that work in the government feel the same?

Have you always known you wanted to run for Rep.?

Edd Leg Reflection

I found it was interesting that Ed thought that Obama was the best thing that has happened to America. I realize that many people feel that he hasn't been as impressive as people had hoped and it will be interesting to findout if other people in the government feel the same way about Obama that we talk to.

After talking to Ed about the benifits and payment of being a represenative, it really shows how much people that are in that field care about making a difference because as we found out the pay isn't much at all.

one thing that really stuck out for me was how open he was about answering questions and talking about his life experiences and actions. I didn't think he would be as open at first.

He said that the actuall job isn't a huge stress to him, but the biggest thing that stresssed him out was the campagining.
