John McCain's choice

Though the vice president usually isn't of much service to the president, McCain should have put more thought into his v.p. choice. Though Sarah Palin has some positive features, she is much younger than him and is rather inexperienced(the same case goes for Barack), and let's be honest, McCain would be more likely to die on the job than many of the other presidents, so you really have to ask, would Sarah Palin, a governor from Alaska with two years of experience, be ready to lead? I don't think so.

Vote.

I don't understand why many teens who are able to vote, elect not to vote. In fact one of my cousins says they aren't planning on voting(not if I can help it though). Many say it doesn't affect them, and here's my response: Are you going to college? Well right there college tuition may increase or decrease at the will of the president. Plus there's the status of the environment and the price of healthcare. Not to mention the perception of our country internationally. It is not stretching to say that our country is not very popular throughout the world. The next president is responsible for changing that. So for everyone who doesn't plan on voting, because they don't think it will affect them, then don't vote for yourself, vote for your country.

What's wrong with Barack Obama's campaign

Though Barack Obama's campaign is going relatively well I still believe that he's approaching some of it the wrong way. What I am primarily talking about is the nature of the commercials Barack's team has been releasing. I was hoping that Barack would be able to step away from the mudslinging and take it in a more positive direction, but it seems that Barack is swinging back with the best of them. Though, yes you do need to respond to some of the insults put in with commercials, you don't need to take it to the next step and throw it right back in your opponent's face. In fact, I was hoping that perhaps Barack and his team would rise above all the mudslinging, but that is obviously not the case.
