A Magnificent Catastrophe: Review the Paper 4 assignment. In that paper, you will compare the
presidential campaign/election described there (1800) and a modern presidential or gubernatorial
campaign/election of your choice. In preparation for that, please submit in this reading response the
modern (2000 or later) presidential or gubernatorial race you plan to use for comparison, a brief description
of why you are choosing it, and basic facts about it (who ran, who won, whether it was close, and anything
interesting about it that you want to mention). Your choice is not binding. You are free to change the
direction and specifics for your final paper. I just want to get you started thinking about the assignment
