Using quotes

I recently read an article from The Spokesman Review on the debate between Christine Gregiore and Dino Rossi. The author or the article Rachel La Corte used quotes well to emphasize. When blame was put on Gregoire the author said how she was quick to blame another politician in this case the Bush administration. Gregiore said " no place in America has escaped the failed economic policies of the George W. Bush administration policies that my opponent has supported. By using this quote the author both showed Gregoires view on her opponent Dino Rossi trying ot blame him while at the same time showing she was quick to shove off her own blame on the president. This quote along with others showed the writers view on the debate. While not making herself seem bias it seemed most of the quotes seemed to be a little more favorable to Rossi. Rachel La Corte was keen to bring in facts like the loss of jobs since Gregoire to office right before she would state Gregoire’s points making them seem obsolete..
