Steelers 23... Redskins....6

Well, the Redskins lost, so could that mean we will have a new party in the White House??? I guess we have to wait and see if the legend continues...

tomorrows election

I am actually kind of excited to vote tomorrow, I think a lot of it has to do with this class, if it was not for it I probably would not have much interest in voting. I have finally come to a decision on who I plan on voting for tomorrow.
This past weekend I worked all weekend and I stay the night at my job ( I am a nanny) and at night time I tend to read news articles on my phone and this past weekend they were all related to the candidates doing their last minute speeches for the states who are still undecided. An article I found interesting was on the state on Montana. In the past century Montana has been voted as a republic state all but two elections. This year Montana is undecided and the call is very close with 46% Obama and 44% McCain and 9% undecided. The reason why they were talking about Montana is because Montana can either really help one candidate pull a head and possibly win the electoral votes or vice verse.
The one thing I have notice most today is the media ads. When I was in the car every other radio commercial was one of the candidates ad. On the tv almost every commercial was an Obama ad, and on the news that is all they talked about and if you save your I voted sticker you can recieve a lot of free stuff from the community from ice cream, starbucks, and burritos.
I plan on watching the voting turn outs and what state votes Obama or McCain around 9:00pm. After my 10:30 class I am heading home to vote, and my predictions for tomorrow nights victory is 52% Obama 46% McCain and 2% Green Party.

The Day Before

Its the day before the election and the school seems to be really excited about tomorrow. Everyone is wearing their voting stickers and pins! I can only imagine what the rest of the country and world is doing right now. I voted three weeks ago and I have been so excited to see what the outcome is going to be. I feel like what I am about to say people will judge anyway but you cant please everybody right? I think that both cadidates are really qualified to be the next president of the United States. McCain has been through it all and its almost like he deserves to be president because of all he has given to the country. Obama is an inspiration to a lot of the younger generations and he understands what and how the country needs to make it a better place. They both are here because they want the opportunity to work for Americans and help get us out of the economic crisis and move forward with the war. I am a bit worried for after the election because there will be people upset because there can only be one president. I am worried about the violence that might occur and the hatred that people will have towards the next president. I am not sure how anyone else really feels about the 'aftermath' of this long, gruling process, but I would like to know that I am not the only one concerned with this issue and how everyone else feels...

A bunch of thoughts before the choice is made

I woke up this morning thinking about this entire election process and how far we have come. I thought of Hilary Clinton coming to George Mason today and I thought about the ‘what ifs’ for this election. What if Senator Barack Obama chose Hilary for his VP? And I went into great detail in my mind what would have happened. All of the Hilary Supporters would have gone crazy, and been so happy that she would have a chance. A lot of Obama supporters would have said that was a bad call, but most would have supported him because they love him through thick and thin. The next spur of thoughts that went through my mind was what would Republicans say about him choosing Hilary Clinton? They would say that she does not have enough foreign affairs experience. They will criticize her clothing style and say that her pant suites won’t hide the fact that she still is a woman. They will say that Barack Obama just chose her because she is a woman and that he should have chosen someone more qualified for the job of VP. They also will probably say that the two of them together are just too inexperienced to lead the country out of the current economic crisis. The two of them will not be able to get us out of the war either. They need to wait another four to eight years for them to gain more experience. A lot of Americans will compare Senators McCain experience to Senator Obama and Clintons experience and say that McCain has more combined experience than the two of them combined. Basically they would get on Clinton’s case just as hard as they are getting on Palin’s case about most of the issues that they media is playing out for the public- from hair to her experience and credibility. I feel that despite my bias, there is no such thing as the perfect candidate for presidency every has their faults. It is impossible to please all of your voters 100 %. So no matter what move the candidate makes, there will always be people who are not going to like the decision and complain/ make a big deal over it.

Raine's frustration

I know no one in our class is going to agree with me, I know I stand in the minority as a college student who is a republican. And I'm sure how I feel is how many democrats would feel about if McCain was in the lead.

I am worried about the lack of experience Obama holds, who is close to becoming President. I don't see that he is qualified at all to be President. He has only had two years in the Senate. When did two years make some one qualified to run a country. He lacks any experience. I would rather have a Vice Presidential candidate with less experience than have a Presidential candidate with no experience.

As i was the person who stood up and advocated McCain yesterday in class, I wanted to provide a link to a little youtube clip explaining what I was talking about yesterday with Obama's economic plan. I hope people take a look at this and think for a minute if they really think Obama's plan will help the economy.

And for those people that want out of Iraq now, good luck with voting for Obama. I am currently watching CNN, and they just stated that Obama is not going for any sort of radical change. He will not be able to get rid of the 12 billion dollars that is going towards Iraq. He is now in agreement with Bush's pre-emptive policy if necessary as well. Sounds like nothing is going to CHANGE like he claims it will.

My apologies if I offended any one. Everyone has an opinion. Many people get to voice theirs for Obama during class. Im open to criticism as well.

Lack of Resources

I just read an article on USA Today online about polling locations and lack of resources, especially in Virginia. According to the article, resources are lacking in predominately minority and lower class communities. It's an interesting subject to consider, while the article also makes mention that minority and younger people are more likely to vote for a candidate such as Barack Obama because of his more liberal ideals. The article goes on to mention that long lines due to lack of resources could cause many to just get fed up and go home. It makes you wonder if there is a giant conspiracy happening to keep minorities and young people from waiting at the polls!!!!
