Out of Her League

The argument in this editorial is claiming that Sarah Palin is out of her league in regards to the campaign she is now part of.

Audience: Voters, maybe women mostly, who are or were once voting for Palin

The author is persuading voters by
ethos: She is using facts, quotes even of Palin's own words, that show she has a lack of knowledge about certain matters.
pathos: The author also plays on the desire for women to vote for other women and the drive for feminism but shows how Palin would not provide that for them. She knows what is driving voters and how they might be disappointed.
logos: This would mainly come from direct quotes and interviews.

The Star method is also applicable to this editorial and holds up successfully. The arugument is sufficient in that it uses facts and direct quotes. It is typical because this is a hot issues at the moment that people care about. I believe that the argument is accurate, although somewhat biased. The information is credible, but an obvious opinion is clear that may slant some information. It is also relevant, I believe, again because it is appropriate for the time and deals with issues, the campaign, that people are concerned about. The quotes and data she uses are also relevant and help to support her piece.
