Current Event #1

So...



I have read an interesting/scary article in the Washington Post about Obama and his effort to win Florida. This year, since Florida is a 'toss-up' state, Obama is pumping $39 million to make sure he wins Florida. This article talked about how the northern Floridians are more of McCain followers whereas, the more non-white, southern Floridians are for Obama. Let's face it, McCain is hurting because he really hasn't done anything to get Florida. That makes me feel like he doesn't care. Instead of going for Ohio, like Kerry did in 2004, Obama decided to try a different route, and McCain hasn' really been on a route. Whatever...let's see what happens!!!

Peace...

Wow Tyler, that sounds really interesting! I don't really know what McCain is thinking, but I'm glad that Obama is doing well. One of the things I heard is that the Republicans don't want to split up Palin and McCain because they are afraid that she will get all the crowds. I just wanted to share that with you because I know you hate Sarah Palin (and trust me, I DO TOO!) Awesome current event!

This is interesting. I feel like after McCain nominated Palin all his heat disappeared after a couple months. It makes me wonder if he is just betting on the experience factor. I hope not because I want a president that is dedicated. It's good to see that Obama still has the drive and that he isn't taking it easy in these last couple of weeks before the election. GREAT JOB!
