Summary
In a recent election, the political candidate, Alder, won in a landslide over Burke. While voters knew that Burke had more effective strategies for dealing with most of the country’s problems and had a long record of successful public service, Burke’s environmental interests aligned with the country’s most dangerous polluter. On the other hand, Adler proposed strict environmental regulations.

There is no support to compare Adler and Burke’s political careers. It could be that Burke recently changed his mind about the environment.

While Burke had better solutions for dealing with most of the country’s issues, he overwhelmingly lost. The main point of comparison between the candidates is their environmental policy. It is thus reasonable that the environment was a major factor in Adler’s election.

There is no support to compare these two things. Burke had more effective strategies for most of the country’s issues and a long record of government service, yet still lost.

This is too strong to support. The stimulus only says that Burke had more effective strategies for most of the country’s issues. There is no support that he would have served the country better in all other aspects.
