2008 Election

With Election Day for the next US president drawing nearer, the nation has been avidly watching what is easily the most closely-followed election of all time. With our nation falling dangerously in to a recession, the stakes are high- But it seems that the time is right for change. For the first time, both the Democratic and Republican parties have secured radical tickets for 2008. On the Democratic side, Barack Obama, an intelligent, articulate family man of African decent has secured the Democratic nomination. And as for the republican side, nominee John McCain has selected self-described "hockey mom" Sarah Palin to be his vice president. The nomination of Sarah Palin for Vice President is a topic that has been heatedly discussed since the nomination first came to public attention a few weeks ago. The general left-winged consensus seems to be confusion and outrage at John McCain's lack of foresight. Not only does he seem to have aged about 12 years since beginning his campaign, but John McCain has been looking especially unwell recently. If anything happened to him if he becomes the next President, our nation would be left in the hands of an untried, untested, ridiculously unexperienced woman who believes that dinosaurs walked the earth just a few thousand years ago.

Interestingly enough, John McCain's biggest opponent these days seems to be himself.The way that he contradicts himself recently reached public attention a few days ago after stating that "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" just hours before several bank and insurance companies went bankrupt, then stating later that the country was in trouble and had been for some time. A "Time" article recounting some of the lies of John McCain recently came out
and is reaching viral status with already over 5000 "digs" and counting.
