I don't know why I am finding the election so exciting this time around. Does this really prove that I am getting middle-aged-ish?
I find it fabulous at the selection we have to choose from. Are people so excited this time around because we've had reality television for so many years which people love and now we can find out so much about these 4 individuals in a race towards the White House?
I am excited to see a woman on the ticket, it is crazy to me that it has been 24 years since there's been a woman on the ticket! I don't have a television to watch, but I do find myself checking cnn and the ny times frequently. I don't check our local paper, as they didn't even have any bit of info on the front page about Obama's speech. I thought newspapers were suppose to support the news. Anyway, I am trying to find out about this sarah palin...who is she? Other than a mom and governor of Alaska for 2 years? Definitely a stark contrast to Senator McCain (experience-wise, anyway).  At least from what I've read so far. Although, I imagine they have the same views on issues. Is McCain really going to get the Hillary voters?
I am definitely finding it to be an interesting year. Are you as interested in the elections this year, or am I abnormal?
We're not too political around our house, but this election seems to be quite importat to us too. The possiblity of marriage and equality make us very excited. Obama is our man. Although, it is GREAT to see a woman on the ticket too. Either way ground will be broken and history will be made.
ReplyDeleteI do read Sarah's blog almost daily. She's quite popular and horribly funny. You should catch my blog for sure.
Lots of loves and kisses from Grand Junction!

I agree, this election has definitely gotten interesting. Sarah Palin is a staunch conservative (NRA member, pro-life, etc), and I can't imagine that she would get any Hillary voters, unless the only reason they were voting for Hillary was because she was a woman. I do think his goal in picking Palin was to get the disaffected Hillary voters. She has WAY less experience than Hillary did though. We'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think elections are exciting. I like reading everyone's comments. Keep them coming. Also, I checked out the Badlands sight. I am excited to learn even more about that locality. Love Mom
