|
e.g. I think Mitt Romney will lower my tax so im going to vote for him. |

|
Looking back and saying it was not too bad with this caniddate ill do it again |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.g. The economy has been growing under Clinton so he has my vote. |
||||||
|

|
country as a whole, this cannidate will do better in the future |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.g. Bush has ideas that will be really good for this country so Im going to vote for him. |
