The months prior to election day have been distressing for me. I have worried about the our country's situation and our place in Iraq. I have been concerned with our imense debt to other countries and what we can do to put our country in a surplus again like when my man Bill was in office.
After the primaries passed, we were left with many undecided voters. Which way will the Hilary voters go? What if I don't like either of the candidates? Ultimately, each voter must make a choice. Or not vote at all.
This year voters were bombarded by more advertisements than ever. With Obama having his own television station on Dish Network along with the huge amount of money that he spent on advertising, many consumers are experiencing automaticity to the media, ignoring every commercial that runs across the television screen.
As an avid Obama supporter, I have been a little worried about his campaign. He has been up in the polls for the past couple of weeks, but what if the polls are off? Well, we know now that the polls were off-Obama is much farther ahead than expected.
I am relieved, but still anxious to see what will happen. Presidential candidates don't always do what they promise in thier speeches prior to election. Will they follow through?
I can say that I am satisfied with the results so far tonight, but I am still not at ease.
The atmosphere here is bustling. The difference in student opinion is evident. We have students that are leaning so far left that they are about to fall of the edge and students that have Republican blood running through thier veins. I think the difference of opinion is healthy and it is fantastic to debate about such topics. However, it should be done tactfully.
It is so wonderful to be a part of such a historical election and a college student at the same time. I feel like I will remember this experience for the rest of my life and I hope that it will be a story that I can tell my children someday.
