Title: Find out yourself and contribute to the discussion
Course: US Election 2012 - Leuphana Copy > Section: The Campaign in State X

Do some individual research on the question: What are the issues that concern the people living in this state? Look at traditions and recent events and developments. The following aspects maybe helpful:

- Economic development, employment/unemployment, income
- Demographics: Are there specific voter groups which have grown and gained more importance?
- How have people voted in previous elections?
- Is it the traditional "Home State" of one of the candidates?

Refer to appropriate sources. You may use your blog for taking notes privately (draft) or this assignment to get a feedback from your teacher.

Then contribute your findings to the class discussion in the forum Who will win this state and why?
