John McCain says that "woman just need education and training" and that he also opposed a law that allowed woman to get equal pay for equal work.


 * Stated Issue:**

The stated issue is that if Barrack Obama is elected he's going to help women have equal pay like men. Obama called for equal pay for men and woman in his speech accepting the Democratic Nomination. Obama says that McCain needs education on the issue of woman. Lilly Ledbetter,employee at the Goodyear Plant, says that she had been working at the plant for over twenty years before she learned the truth. She comments that she has been getting payed forty percent less than the men of the plant. It's woman like her that Obama says that he will help and make sure they get what they deserve.


 * Implied Issues:**

John McCain apparently doesn't understand the idea that woman want and deserve equal pay as the men. As Ledbetter said, McCain opposed a law that allowed woman to get equal pay for equal work. Why he did this? Well according to McCain's side of the story he wants woman to be more qualified for jobs. He wants woman to have a good and better education so that they have a better job.


 * Issue or personal ad:**

The "Barack Obama-Need Education" is a personal ad. I think this is a personal ad because it's talking about an injustice that Lilly Ledbetter had. Even though she's been working for 20 years in the plant, she was being paid less than men. If Barack Obama is elected he's going to help women like her have equal pay as men. Lilly Ledbetter didn't get paid enough money that she needed for her family. Lilly Ledbetter worked at a Goodyear tire plant in Alabama for more than 20 years. When she found out she was being paid less than the men. She went to court for justice but the Supreme Court denied her claim.


 * Negative or positive ad:**

This ad is a negative attack towards McCain.Though it also has a positive side to it. The positive side of this ad is that it's supporting equal pay for equal work to women. It also contains a negative side. Its negative side is that it's stating that John McCain opposes equal pay for women. The attack is against John McCains opposition for womens equal pay.


 * Main argument:**

The main argument in this ad is women get equal pay as men. Barack Obama is calling out for equal pay for men and women accepting the democratic nomination.


 * Evidence provided:**

The evidence provided in this ad is Lilly Ledbetter work experience. She has worked for over twenty years in the plant and got paid forty percantless then men doing the same work as she was.
