Everyone knows that the elections are fast approaching but it hasn’t quite hit me yet the importance of this election and how important this month is. The result of this election guides the next four years of our lives differently than the other candidate would have. I like expressing my political views and with this election, I seriously can’t believe that McCain has as much support as he does. I feel like their supporters are just very narrow minded and don’t question their views or question what the candidate says to the American public. I question Obama as well and while I definitely find gray areas, I think that he is basically the only choice. It just really frustrates me how slim our choices are. To me, it seems almost like our system of elections is a failure because of the people we see before us. I agree that Obama is my favorite choice for the front-running Democrats, but there are others. Biden wasn’t a serious candidate for president, but in some respects I like him more than his running mate. As for McCain, the choice of his running mate should be all the more obvious reason that we cannot vote for him. The job of the VP is to be ready is something were to happen to the president and we need someone to take the helm.
John McCain’s argument about experience is ridiculous. Both Biden and Obama are highly qualified and well educated. Sarah Palin is a joke for a candidate. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the millions of Americans that say they admire her and think she’s a good woman. She seems more cut out for the PTA presidency. Even as a governor, I think that she is way way way too ignorant, easily- swayed, prone to changes in decisions, and so on. I don’t ever see anything about any of her arguments that is foolproof against her opponents. I hope you all agree.

Nat a week later and we now have an official president. Like you said in your blog post it is difficult to choose what is best for America, because the one we choose must be the leader of America for four years. I feel that both candidates have the potential, but like you said what would happen if we are left without the president and we need the vice president. I feel that McCain just like Obama had strong points, but McCain’s running mate is not fulfilling what takes to be a good leader of the United States. Now that we have a president we cannot go back all we can do is wait to see what the upcoming four years will bring us.
