Gov. Example

1) The controversy in this article is the debate of whether or not gay marriage should be allowed in the state of Wisconsin. The article describes the two main players and goes into great depths about their individual backgrounds and what they are doing in the respective campaigns.

2) The players and Julaine Appling and Mike Tate. Appling is against gay marriage while Tate is for it.

3) I really thought this was an intresting article because the reporter tried to go with a theme. the reporter went to great lengths to show how different the two were and how they were managing thier very different individual campaigns. I like this article because id did more for the reader then just give a bare bones account about political statistics, it tried to connect the reader to either Appling or Tate.

4) I did not think the story had that many weakness but if i had to pick one I would say just to be a bit more thorough on some of the campaign strategies. It was really intresting to see the theme type approach the reporter took on this story but it it would also have been nice to gain a bit more undersatnding of where the opponents stood.
