Please submit a response to the following questions. During class on Wednesday, you will be asked to share information about the candidate you picked during class discussion.

1. Provide a link to at least one news story about your candidate (joe biden) . Try to find a few as it will make the question below easier.

What was the content focus of the news coverage of your candidate? An event they were involved in (e.g. a rally)? A scandal or controversy? Who was ahead in the polls? What their issue opinions were? Or what?
Explain why they may have focused on this content, rather than other content.

2. If your candidate ran in an election that had a forecast from 538 (generally they forecast presidential, house, and senate), try to find the forecast and provide a link. You will need to Google something like "2016 presidential primary forecast 538," it won't be on the main page anymore.

If there was a forecast for the race, were they predicted to win? Was the forecast accurate? If not, explain what you think may have led to the error.
If there was not a forecast, explain why you think a major election forecasting website like 538 would choose NOT to forecast this election, especially given the emphasis on "horse-race" coverage.
