I think I want to focus my paper on looking at Mitt Romney's campaign theme "War on Religion." I'll probably use the campaign add that I've been looking at for this class and look into enthymemes, pathos, logos, ethos (if it's there) and paradigms. Then I might compare that with the Obama campaign flip side "War on Women" and do a similar rhetorical analysis of either a speech or video from Obama/supporters...
...I'm also interested in idea we discussed in class where during a speech the speaker will imply - look, this is the kind of person he/she is - and then either say or imply that the speaker is no such person...
Most political rhetoric includes this kind of statement and campaign videos most definitely use this tactic all the time so I'll point those out as well if I have time and space
