2008 Election

I am not one of those politics junkies. In fact, the only part of the election that I watch and enjoy is when they announce the winner. This year is more exciting than the others (keep in mind the other elections I didn't understand what was going on!)

This year, there are two very different candidates running. First is Senator Barack Obama, the democratic nominee. He is the first man of color to run for president which draws a lot of extra attention to the election. Running against him is John McCain, the Republican nominee. The third running (but who lost to Obama for the nomination) was Hillary Clinton. She was the first woman who was running for president, and she also drew attention.

Over the course of this election, both candidates have told America about their plans if they win the election. In addition, both have made public appearances to visit with the people that they could future work with.

Overall, the 2008 election has proved to be a very different one. With new turns, new idea's and later tonight the announcement of our new president!
