Humorous Argument
The video that I found is a satirical spoof of Sarah Palin being nominated for vice president. The link is: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1831461 They take information from her campaign, views, and family and turn it into something funny that people would be able to understand and maybe agree with. For example: Sarah Palin's son's name is Trig, and because this is such an unusual name, they make a point to make it funny by calling him 'Algebra'. In the video, the president dies. This is making fun of McCain's age and how some feel that he is too old to be president. The video is mean to be a funny way of engaging the audience and emphasizing unusual or well known facts that are easily argued. I do not agree with the video, but I did find it funny. So, humor is a creative and strong way to hold an argument.

Noelle,
Your editorial does an excellent job of proving the point that abortion is murder. Putting Obama in front of the clinic opening the door makes it look like he's welcoming people into a slaughter house - very effective.
You might want to redraw the cartoon so that more emphasis is placed on Obama.
