Candidate 1

This candidate is the incumbent. He is a lawyer


and former Congressman. His election four
years ago brought on a war that the country has
been fighting ever since. The war is not going
well but he is determined to keep fighting until
one side or the other has won. If your country
wins, he has no plans to punish your enemy, but
instead wants to help them recover economic
stability as soon as possible. He is strongly in
favor of civil rights.

Candidate 2

Formerly the general commanding your forces in this


war until Candidate 1 dismissed him. He was very
popular with your troops and many people say that if
he were still in command the war would not be going
so badly. Still, he is campaigning on a peace platform. If
he wins, his party wants to negotiate a truce with your
enemy and stop the war. He is not against civil rights,
but he is not as strongly in favor of it as Candidate 1.
Now tell your students that you just heard some
important news. Your country has just won a big battle
and it looks like you could win this war after all. Ask
them if they would consider changing their vote.
