Election '08

This election is historic! This election has seen the first female candidate for president and vice president and the first African American candidate for president. With our country experiencing hard times in many areas, this election is an opportunity for America to undergo a change. Now, the question is who can bring forth the most positive change: the experienced Republican, the smooth talking Democrat, or an underdog.

John McCain, a conservative Republican, has served in the U.S. government since 1982. He served in the U.S.A military; therefore, he is well read when it comes to the military and security. In addition, he is rather old, so he could fall into ill health.

Barrack Obama is a smooth talking Democrat and is a force to be reckoned with across the nation. He is in favor of universal healthcare for children. He also says he will cut taxes to help families get through this tough economic time. On the down side, Obama is inexperienced, so only time will tell how well he performs under crisis.

A third candidate, no doubt the underdog, is Independent Ralph Nader. He has run in every election since 1992, and has lost all four elections. The guy deserves a chance to win just so he can stop running!

Basically, choose which issue is more important: the economy or the war, and that will decide which candidate is best. The future of America is in your hands, so choose wisely!!
