This weekend I spent time watching the first 2008 Presidential Debate. I was so outraged by the answers that McCain thought would be so perfect to pinpoint Barack Obama into a bad position, but he remained calm and collected, while being openly ridiculed for his answers. What McCain failed to notice was that Barack was focusing on answering the actual question, not about trying to back-talk the opponent, which apparantly was the only skill that McCain was employing. I was thoroughly disgusted by those people who STILL wish to vote for McCain after that debacle.
With all of the problems of trying to vote in the first place with registering to do an absentee ballot through my home state, instead of my current state, it's hard to remember how important it is in the first place. I'm definately going to use my vote and I would never throw away the opportunity to use the rights that women, just a short time ago, were not able to use. I am lucky for what they went through for me to be able to have the opportunity to vote now. While it isn't an "opportunity," it is a right that everyone deserves, it is still looked upon in some fashion as something to be cherished.
For now, that's enough ranting on election madness. I'm hoping for a United-Blue-States!
