HW 17 B-> Could the answer be both?

Which blog would be more likely to influence the way you would vote in a coming election?
I think i would be more influenced by Markos Moulitsas Zuniga because it is more serious and i think more important then the information that Ana Marie Cox writes about in Wonkette. However the answer that i would like to answer this question is would be both. I would be influenced by both these blogs, i think reading both of them would keep me informed about different things in the election. The Daily Kos is very serious and is a liberal blog advertising network. Wonkette is completely different. I really liked reading Ana Marie Cox's interview because she was so down to earth and that is exactly what her page is like too. She does not use all formal words or phrases she writes as if she is a teenager writing about gossip. She says things like "Oh, and she put up some remarkably crappy personal web pages in 1999." or "Well, she went to Pat Robertson’s college, so she’s a Jesus-freak nutbag." I would read her page to find out all the gossip dirt for the election but i would read The Daily Kos to find out the major issues around the election and whose doing what to stop it. So i think a mix of both these blogs would be good in influencing the way i would vote for the election.
