November 4th Election Day

Election day is on its way and the race to the White House is neck and neck. Both candidates from each party are struggling to gain more votes and they are visiting and revisiting all the undecided states.

Each candidate has also come across some negative energy upon their campaign. Some Republicans are worried that nominated VP Sarah Palin is bringing down their campaign due to her wacky personality. Although Tina Fey's impressions of Palin have given this country much needed laughter during our economic downfall, nobody can really take Palin seriously and many believe she isn't qualified for the position. Many are also worried about John McCain and his future actions. If he was serious about wanting Sarah Palin as his VP, think about who he would appoint to other political office if he is elected President. Democratic nominee Barack Obama has been resting at a comfortable position with a led of 50 to 44%. Senator Obama has been in the news also about how he isn't qualified to be president because he was only in office for 173 something days. The media and the Republican party have been reporting on Obama's ethnicity and saying he is Muslim and not American so he shouldn't be allowed to run for office. It was reported that two white supremacists had planned to assassinate Mr. Obama and many more are angry that he is allowed to run.

Along with that, both party's have come up with political slogans. The Democrat's are running with "it's time for a change" and the Republicans have came up with "Joe the Plumber", they even have a mascot.

With this election around every corner, I personally cant wait until all this is over. We are so focused on who is going to win and what new information can the other party bring up about the other, we are forgetting about how our economy is in a recession and we are still in a war.

I guess on the good side, gas is going down for now...
