"Clinton opens up in Knoxville" by J.J. Stambaugh probably talks about one of the most important events happening in the United States: fighting for the presidency. Stambaugh's article is about Hilary Clinton's campaign for presidency and her support in Knoxville. She started planning for her primary on Tuesday with about two dozen volunteers from Knoxville, some including UT students. People say that she is parelleling her husbands strategy who won the presidency twice already. It seems as if Clinton is also getting some support from Ut students considering that Stambaugh has some qoutations from some students indicating that Hilary knows what she is doing and deserves to be leader. Then, J.J's article talks about former senator Owen is bakcing up Hilary 100%. The cultural information in this article is her vision for the future of america dealing with Iraq issues and the economy. And first of all, the president has always been a man ever since the beginning of the idea of having a government. So having a lady president will definitely change things up alot. A fieldworker may go ask and find out more information on how Hilary plans to win and what she would do if she were to win. A fieldworker's questions would about be the same I believe, because they are both investigating the truth. The fieldworker would want to know what HIlary wants to do and why she wants to fight for the presidency. One might also want to know what Hilary thinks about being the first lady president and how the public will react to it. The fieldworker might want to find some information on Hilary's opponent and what his strategy is to overcome her. One might also want to look at other newspapers and polls to see how the public is reacting as of now. She could find these sources anywhere; whether it is a library or online. I just believe that having a lady president will be one of the most important eventful moment for a long time and will be talked about in the future history books for awhile to come.
