19 Days and counting...

Throughout this whole campaign, there has been one question on my mind and that is, how are Michigan Republicans still supporting McCain even though he has given up completely on the state of Michigan? Granted, Michigan has in the past always voted Democrat but to just publicly announce you are pulling out of a state and giving up on it? If only we would do that with Iraq. But as I go to school everyday, I see McCain poster after McCain poster and it makes me laugh. Let's say you are the owner of the Lions, maybe the worst team in all of sports. Regardless of the fact of how bad you are, you still have thousands upon thousands of fans. If you go through a rough patch are you seriously going to give up on your fans and just say, 'Well, let's pack it up, there's no hope here.' No, you don't give up. You keep fighting because you still have a bunch of undecided voters across America. Does this mean that if McCain takes office and there is something that he thinks he can't manage, he's just going to give up? That's kind of scary to me. For the first time ever, I actually agree with Sarah Palin on this issue. She says that there are still auto workers in Michigan and many unemployed people that they might be able to win over and they should still be fighting here. But of course, she only found out because a reporter told her what she should have already known.

I've talked to a bunch of people about the candidates and it's always the same, 'I don't think McCain is the right answer for us but I don't know if I can bring myself to vote for a black man.' This to me is sick. Haven't we gotten over the issue of race? I don't understand how narrow minded people are sometimes. How long has the black man had to vote for a white man? Isn't it okay if we have to change this routine if it is better for America?

And I have looked into the future and thought about different scenarios that could play out. Unfortunately, I think that there is a good possibility that McCain could pass away in office. And I also believe that since the world is apparently borderline racist, there is a possibility that Obama could be assassinated in his first term. Let's just hope that neither of these scenarios actually play out because that's the last thing that our country needs. But if one of them were to happen, we have to look at the vice-presidential candidates more seriously than we ever have before. If McCain dies, does America really think that Palin can handle it? I'll admit, she was a good politician from what she came from, but can she really handle the most powerful political position in the world? McCain openly stated that Joe Biden is well qualified if ever he had to take the position. I think it is funny though how he selected Palin and they disagree on many subjects such as some abortion issues and stem cell research, but that's just me.

Also, I don't think we can really call the debates 'debates'. The reason being is because if you watched the last one, all it is is McCain spitting out lies about Obama and vice versa and the other one goes on some other tangent. It's all a joke. The debates don't help anybody make a decision that haven't already but it further drives them away from the two of them. And the people who have made a decision just believes their candidate won. We'll see what happens and I'm sure I will be making another post soon.
