Ok, so I do not know that much about either of the candidates that are running for election. I was origanly for Huckabee but he dropped out and so now I do not know. I really like Obama despite my better judgement. He does not follow my belief system but let's face it, McCain is way too old to be the president. He is practicaly senile now. Think about four or even eight years from now. If he stayed in office for all eight years he would be seventy years old. Seventy years old! I think that he is a nice man but he is just too old. I think Obama may be a little young but I believe that he would do a much better job than McCain. I think Obabma can bring the change that this countryy needs to see. Although I definatly do not agree with his abortion policy. I mean, I think that Bush, though he is a good man, really kind of screwed us over. He put this country into turmoil with this war. But I am very greatful for the fact that I will be getting two thousand extra dollars for college this year on President Bushes account. What I am saying is that I am torn. I do not know who to vote for. This is a very difficult election. This is the first time that I get to vote and I have no clue who to vote for. I would love to hear your thoughtsd on this.

And make a decision based on what you feel about them. Don't listen to the media reports, because that gets pretty junior high and trivial. Look into the issues, the money (who supports them factors heavily into their future behavior as president), and the voting records. Whoever you choose will be the right candidate for you, if you do your own research and become an informed voter.

Also, this almost got lost in the shuffle of irrelevant, year or two old forum posts on the active threads list. I'm glad I went looking for recent blog entries; informed voting is SO important to me!

You should educate yourself about these runners. One of them is going to be our President and we need someone who can actually do it.
