Presidential elections – the consequence of the plan KEY QUESTION: How does the affirmative impact the presidential election???
The first negative – option 1: obama good/romney bad • OBAMA WILL WIN NOW • THE PLAN HURTS OBAMA • OBAMA IS GOOD – ROMNEY IS BAD
The first negative – Option 2: obama bad/romney good • ROMNEY WILL WIN NOW • THE PLAN HELPS OBAMA • OBAMA IS BAD – ROMNEY IS GOOD
THE STRENGTHS OF THE ELECTIONS DISAD • LOTS OF UPDATED EVIDENCE • EVERYTHING IS COMPARTMENTALIZED – MAKING IT EASY FOR THE NEGATIVE TO EXTEND (LINK, UNIQUENESS, IMPACTS) • BIG IMPACTS • IMPACT DIVERSITY • FUN AND INTERESTING/TIMELY – SPURS ACTIVISM FOR YOUR CANDIDATE
THE WEAKNESSES OF THE ELECTIONS DISAD • LOTS OF UPDATED EVIDENCE?!? • TENDS TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE OVERALL TOPIC – DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHAT THE RESOLUTION WAS THIS YEAR UNTIL NOVEMBER??? • NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE LINK NARRATIVE • POSSIBLITY OF HAVING TO DEBATE TOO MANY IMPACTS • UTILITY ENDS THE FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER
Uniqueness DEBATE – THE how? WHY ARE MODELS BETTER THAN POLLS?
2AC – HOW DO I ANSWER? TIPS: LET THE EVIDENCE DRIVE YOUR 2AC STRAT! 2) MAKE EVIDENCE DISTINCTIONS. DIVERSIFY YOUR ANSWERS! PLAN AHEAD FOR THE 1AR/2AR.
2NC/1NR – HOW DO I EXTEND? TIPS: EVALUATE YOUR STRATEGIC CHOICES AFTER THE 2AC. IS IT MORE EFFICIENT TO MAKE STRATEGIC CONCESSIONS THAN KNOWING YOU WOULD HAVE TO INVEST MORE TIME TO WIN? OR DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHOICE? POST DATE IS YOUR FRIEND. COVER UP HOLES WITH DIVERSITY AND NUANCES. SET THE STAGE FOR THE 2NR – EARLY IMPACT ASSESSMENT. HOW DOES THE ELECTIONS IMPACT INTERACT WITH THE PLAN ADVANTAGES? POSSIBLY READ MORE IMPACTS??? WHY WOULD READING MORE IMPACTS IN THE 2NC/1NR BE A BAD IDEA???
OTHER THOUGHTS/KEY TERMS WHO WINS THE CONGRESS? HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE AGENDA? COATTAILS? RUN A CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION DISAD? HOW DOES THE PLAN IMPACT THE MAKEUP OF THE CONGRESS? RUN AN ELECTION DISAD THAT IS BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT ONE SPECIFIC STATE IS KEY. EQUILIBRIUM ELECTIONS DISAD???
