i am so excited about this election. the other day i was watching the debates and i couldn't help but smile. these are history- makin' times. either way, mccain or obama it's historic. and i can smell the fervor in the air, almost everyone i know is paying attention. when was the last time so many people were so on fire for politics? when was the last time we cared, or believed that perhaps an election could change anything? i think there are some really important aspects of this election for me personally.
the first thing is that it's been eight years since i really believed in a candidate. two previous elections where i felt like it was just picking between two lemons. but this year, this election i believe in barack obama. i don't necessarily agree with everything he does, but i believe in him. i trust him. i think he is an honorable man. i think he can bring about the change he's promising. and that gets me so excited.
it's not that i think john mccain isn't a good choice. in fact he brings a lot to the table, but i don't trust him the same way that i do obama. i'm sure he's a good man, but the fact is he seems more like a politician than a man. i get lost in his "message" i want to know who he is and what he believes. even if those beliefs differ from mine, i want to know them.
so i'm voting obama and i'm pretty dern excited about it.

You *trust* him?! Chelsea, he was sworn into office with his hand on the Koran and instead of going to Forrest Home when he was a kid, he went to some Muslim extremist brainwashing/training camp! Just kidding. But one of my kids told me, and I quote, “Palin believes in witchcraft.” Slightly misleading, if you ask me.
I think you are very very correct! Just thought you should know!
