Highest voting turnout election

As we know voting turn out has decrease overtime it might be that the candidates are no interesting or simple people careless and less. This election of course will be different not only do we have interesting candidates but it has made history. It's expected that this year the voting turn out will be the highest in the decades. Experts predict that this election will bigger than the election of 1968. Youth and Latinos are predicted to vote more likely than previous elections. Early voting has also been out the roof this election. This election is similar to the election in 2004 but it's looking better in voting turn out. It's calculated that at least 130 million will vote because they believe that we are under such bad condition. Democrats at this point have been voting earlier than Republicans. Hopefully people think really hard for this election making the right choice is important for the sake of the country.

Ashley Todd attacked by an Obama supporter?


Ashley Todd is 20 year old college student from Texas who was attacked by a 4-6 foot black man. Todd was robbed at an ATM and she was put down to the ground after the man saw she was a McCain/ Palin supporter and pinned a big "B" on her cheek. She immediately took this story to the police. The police had high suspicions that this story was not true because the "B" was pinned backwards which lets them believe that she might have done it herself. When She came back to have a sketched drawn about the men the police questioned her about her story and went trough a lying detective test. Soon it was define that she was not telling the truth and she was charged with making a false report. Her parents have not been contacted and they have no explanation to why she did it. They can only suspected that it was a mental illness. On the other Hands there are others who might believe this was a strategy to get attention. It might be because McCain's volunteers are worried that he is losing and that he needs extreme attention. Lets only hope that he was not behind all this stupid joke.

The Last Presidential Debate


Yesterday’s last presidential debate Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain referred to the common person as Joe. The question was should Joe be worried about taxes and his business.

Obama replied that, “It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's going to be good for everybody . . .. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Obama wants to make sure that everyone has an opportunity and even if they don’t vote for him once he is president he will help everyone in the country. McCain believes that Obama’s plan will not work because it will increase taxes among people and no one wants to pay higher taxes including himself. Obama’s goal as president is cut 95% of peoples taxes once the economy is stable.

Through out the debate Senator John McCain kept referring to Joe as “my old buddy”. It wasn’t clear how McCain was willing to relate to the common person but there was a lot of confidence behind his talk but no action. McCain constantly avoid the questions and went around it. He seem to constantly find the flaw in Obama’s plans and he never seem to state his own opinions or state what he believed in. McCain was the Tap dancer, dancing around Obama.

The Worst Presidential Debate in History

The second Presidential Debate was considered the worst debate in history. Of course there has been boring ones but this one had to be the worst of all. Senator Barack Obama and John McCain meet on Tuesday night in Belmont University they both were not inspiring and were timid when it came to answering question. In our situation where a war is going on and economic problems the candidates seem to lose focus.

In this presidential debate many things were proposes even before the debate happen. Things were planned out and even the moderator was disappointed with the way things were handled. The moderator stated, “This moment is too important to allow misinformation to go unchallenged and serious issues to be ignored." Candidates had lame answers to really serious issues like the war and the economy. The audience had to sit through 90 minutes of a boring debate and television ratings were still really high.

The worst debate in history portrait the attitudes of both McCain and Obama because once they were consider of great personality and historical records but in this cases it was different none had an appealing personality.

Palin lost the Vice Presidential debate

As we all know tonight was the Vice-Presidential debate. Sarah Palin did not meet the expectations required from the critics. They concluded that she was the loser of the debate. In past interviews Palin lack knowledge on McCain’s history. In this debate she was a lot more confident talking about the issues she knew: Energy. When asked about Sub-Prime Mortgages, she changes her conversation to Energy again because she didn’t know anything about the issue. During the debate Palin talked about "General McClellan”, commander in Afghanistan when in fact his name is General David McKiernan. Palin continuously looked down at her notes and criticizes Biden and Obama.

Biden on the other hand listens to her stand in the issues and stated his stand on the issue without needing to use notes. From the very beginning Biden was thinking intelligently. He also stated that Bush is to be blame for such bad economy and McCain is right under the same wing. Biden believes that McCain has the same ideas that Bush had on the economy and the War in Iraq. Palin seem to dislike his statement but only smiled.

The Vice Presidential Candidates only had one change to state their opinions on important issues and according to critics Palin did a not so good job.
