It's November 3rd, the most nerve wracking day a four year cycle can have. Though I originally wanted to keep politics out of this blog, I do feel the need to say this: I Support Barack Obama. Time and time again, he comes through with a solid plan for our economy and our country-- only in extremely rare cases does he resort to negative campaigning, slandering, or maligning his opponent. I used to respect John McCain, I thought that he might be a Republican I could vote for, and I think this would be an extremely different race had he chosen Joe Liberman, or even hotheaded Rudy Guiliani as his veep president. But he didn't, and as his campaign gets more bogged down in itself, he starts to hate and get angry, and hate and anger are two very dangerous things that feed off of one another. You can be pro-life without mocking women's health, you can be pro-America and still be liberal, and you can be well educated without being an elitist.
That being said, I beg all of you to get out and vote tomorrow for whomever you wish. This is the most important election since 1933, if not the election of Abraham Lincoln. Our country is spiraling towards chaos and we need a focused leader to bring us back to greatness. If you have an opinion, let it be heard. And in the words of Will Smith's father, "if you don't vote, you have to shut up."
