My original topic would be to analyze McCains tax cuts. I narrowed down and decided to go with tax cuts for Oil companies. I then decided to cut down even more to narrow down on a specific oil company such as Exxon/Mobil.
Obviously this affects oil companies. It affects the candidates, and eventually it will affect us all. Where money goes always has a lasting effect on what we do as a nation and individually. I am curios what this does to gas prices. I think that there is more to this than meets the eye. Both candidates are talking about this. McCain is often criticized over this point. The media and the public wonder what he is doing here. I will get to the bottom of this!
Primary sources could include, the websites of the candidates, possibly the media, and hopefully some of our econ profs here on campus.

Nice idea for a topic. It will be interesting to see what you come up with because oil companies always seem to have a bad public opinion. It always seems the media as well as the general public is quick to blame the oil companies for making to much money or being too greedy.
I really like your interest in the topic. It will convey to your audience. Gas prices are such a big deal to the American people and I feel many people are ill informed of exactly what goes on as far as the oil companies importing, and getting tax cuts. Good choice.
