I'm kinda getting into the elections now. It was really hard at first, because there just simply wasn't a candidate that I liked. I was so annoyed that none of the candidates could express an original opinion. It was all fluff and "change and hope" and nonsense.
However, Sarah Palin definitely has me interested. So does the Constitution Party. I was half resigned to switching my politcal alliance from the Republican Party to something else... anything that would fit my values and beliefs. I happen to be what you might consider "ultra-conservative" on economic and social issues. I'm a big believer in safer borders, the Pro-Life movement and smaller government, in general. The Republic Party doesn't really seem to value those things anymore. It's more of a "who can be the most moderate" race.
Sarah Palin was a breath of fresh air. I'm 100% certain that she's not perfect. No one is. There are probably things that she's done that I'll be very unhappy with, but it's great to see someone that I can actually relate to in the politcal arena.
I'm interested in Chuck Baldwin also. He's the Constitution Party's candidate, and I have to say that he's pretty impressive. Thank goodness I have a couple of months to make this very difficult decision. Do I take the high road and vote for someone who I almost completely agree with, or do I vote for the person who will have the best chance at winning - even though they only represent a few things that I believe in? The debate begins...

I agree with you on Palin! I was very impressed with her last night! They were talking before the speech that this was her chance to make a "first impression" since no one really knew who she was...I thought she did a good job at making a great first impression!!

im excited to see you are getting into politics, though we may differ on the issues, i never want to be responsible for picking someone elses president, ya know? the right to vote is so precious to so many around the world, we all should try to excercise it when we can. good luck in your choice.
