Second Post - Findings

The findings of our research affirmed our hypotheses that there were discrepancies in the ways in which minorities were being treated in their runs for candidacy. This not only effects the outcomes of the races but how this country treats its own candidates in terms of equality and fairness. Our findings confirmed that belief that these condidates were treated differently and expanded on that, only to demonstrate that the situation was worse than we thought. The two events with the most coverage and analysis was Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin's run for whitehouse in which there was a plethora of twisting and spinning by the media. This surprised the researchers and also made us ask ourselves what a run for office should really be about, if not race and gender.
