The Election

As some of you might know, I lean more on the Democratic side of politics. I am in favor of some social programs and some governmental regulation. I realize that is not a popular belief with some people.

I always, always vote. I feel like it is our patriotic duty to vote. Men and women have died for that right and I do not take it lightly. The world is very troubled right now and I feel like this election is very important to our country's well being. As I say that though, I am really unsure about who I am going to vote for this election cycle.

I liked many of the things Bill Clinton achieved in his presidency (obviously not all) but I wonder how his wife will be. Is she even electable? I like some of the things Obama has said but I wonder if he has enough experience in these troubled times. I like some of the things John Edwards has said too but I also wonder if he has a chance against the other two. I really want the best candidate to be in office this time around.

We live close enough to Iowa that we get the local channels from there. The caucus and the visits from the candidates is all that is on the news these days. John Edwards site has a countdown on the home page even. If you have any opinions, I would love to hear them.
