Week 2-Election Post

There is no doubt that tons of issues are important in this year's presidential election. If I had to choose just one national issue, I would say that how the new president will deal with the economy is the number one topic I care about. Why, you ask? Because our economy is failing, and I would rather not have another Great Depression.
Locally, I would have to say that the environment is a huge issue for me. If the state could initiate any plans to help keep Virginia as green as it can be, that would be super. I don't want to keep hurting our planet by putting dangerous chemicals in our air and water.
On a different topic, the debate on Friday was pretty interesting. I thought that Obama did a better job over all. He was able to keep is cool more often then McCain was. Plus, I am getting a little tired of McCain always talking about how he was a POW and how his friends are also helping his cause. I understand that his war experience is a big part of who he is, but I think everybody has heard enough.
I think that being able to watch the debates, and not just hear about them, is a really cool thing we can do with modern technology. Being able to see how the candidates react to each other is a great sign of how they might act in office. I can only imagine what it must have been like to only be able to read about the presidential debates, before tv and the radio. I wonder if voters had a harder or easier time in deciding who they would vote for?
