Column Work- Ethos Pathos Logos

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/04/opinion/collins-the-season-of-debates.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&_r=0

Ethos: 

Quoting Obama: 
“At some point, I think the American people have to ask themselves: Is the reason that Governor Romney is keeping all these plans-to-replace secret because they’re too good? Is it because that somehow middle-class families are going to benefit too much from them?” Obama retorted. 

Mentioning CNN: 
"CNN managed to corral some of them to register their responses to the debate’s every jab and parry."

Mentioning known sources:
"Did you read John Noble Wilford’s article in The Times about the discovery of the remains of a dinosaur the size of a house cat?"

Pathos:

"...was there ever before a presidential candidate who could sound that enthusiastic while vowing to defund Big Bird?"

"The president thinks these debates are ridiculous, and he may well be right. But, truly, it would have been a better idea to keep the thought to himself."


Logos:

"Witness the large proportion of Ohio Republicans who told a pollster that they thought Mitt Romney was the person most responsible for killing Osama bin Laden."

"No candidate wants to repeat the saga of Rick Lazio, who ran against Hillary Clinton for the United States Senate in New York in 2000."
