Well, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning was a long night. I stayed up, as many did, unitl three thirty to get my government homework (which needed information from the election) completely finished. At eleven o clock, I was on the phone with my ex-boyfriend when the next president was announced. I am an Obama supporter, so I was ecstatic.  Read More »

Somehow, over the past four years, my generation has managed to make politics cool. I can remember the election four years ago; I was in school then. In my town, you didn't express your opinions--no one did. Not even the senoirs who were able to vote. Today, fortunately, it's very different.  Read More »
