According to Eugene Walsh in his article, we ourselves should shutdy and compare the presidential candidates’ ability (par. 2, 4). He claims that “diehard Republican”, or “diehard Democrats” (par 1) is not right attitude which the public should held for democratic society. It is a claim of policy which applies to emotion, like he said, " I envy them!" (who are diehard), then reversely he said, "Will our democracy survive this attitude?" Also, he convineces the reader by describing the people who have no effort and and thoughts to research the candicates. Finally, he give himself as an example of expressing his thought about John McCain with quotes from issues of Time magazine (par 5 - 12).
