I went in just after 6pm today with my mom and voted. I voted for Obama, I voted for stem cell research and more I love this country sometimes and today is one of those times that reminds me that we are a great country to live in.

I was going to give you all a picture of me with my I voted sticker on, but I’m really tired after babysitting all day and need to get to bed. I was thinking of doing it tomorrow, but I have class all day. Oh well. At least I can look back and say I helped to make history in some way today. I’m sure Obama will win, we will see in the morning.

I am voting in this election because I don’t want some dumb person in the white house or as my state representative. That said if the person I want to win does not win then I have every right to complain, if you don’t vote and the person you didn’t vote for, but wanted them to make it does not win then you can shut your mouth for 4 years and vote next time. Here in Michigan it is too late to register to vote, but other states are still accepting people. That said Connie, over at Brain Foggles tagged me for this very cool meme that tells people to get out and vote. So sit back and watch the video and then go register to vote, unless it’s midnight, then go to bed and do it first thing in the morning, and I mean first thing, no brushing your teeth or changing out of your pj’s. You can feed the dog first if you have to.

I want to know why, not because I’m an Obama supporter, but because many of the people who have been saying this have been demicrats for years. Why give up your values just because it’s not a women up there. Now if you have switched because you actually agree with McCain more then okay that I understand, but I have talked to people who agree with everything that Obama says, but won’t vote for him because he’s not a women and didn’t choose a women for vp.

I just don’t think that some of these people realize that if the vote McCain in they will have to deal with what he belives in and what he want’s to do. The war will continue, US taxpayer money will continue to go to Iraq and nothing will change, if thats what they want, fine, but if they want an end to the war they need to grow up and do what is right, not act like a highschool kid and try to get back at Obama for winning the nomination.

This is the reasion that many young voters don’t vote, they figure voteing is a big scam because people just vote the party and don’t listen to the issues, they vote for the cute one or the person who looks better then the other. In this race I am sure that many will not vote for Obama because of race. It’s sad this is still going on, but it’s a truth that even he knows. I just think that if you are old enough to vote you need to vote because you agree with what the canidate has to say, not because your pissed off that they were nominated instead of someone else.

It was announced very early this morning apparently. I don’t have a cell phone so I couldn’t sign up for anything. Yes I know it’s crazy I don’t have one, but I’m still paying off the $900 bill a friend racked up for me. This is why this post is not being written at 3 am.

Anyway I have to say I’m not sure about this pick, mostly because I really don’t know much about this person and their views. I agree more with Obama’s views then McCain’s so he still gets my vote as of now, but I know I need to learn more about the next guy. Why? The job is not that important right? Wrong, people forget that the VP is next in line and should be someone you like just as much as the guy actually running for president. Also I think the job of the VP may one day start to mean something more and we better have a good guy in office when it does.

From what I have read about him it seems like he has all of the things that Obama lacks, but enough similarities to make the ticket work. He has foreign policy experience as well has having been in the national political scene for a while now. He’s even run for president himself. I think another good thing about him is that he has stated that he thinks Obama is not ready for president, this is a good thing because he will help him, he will be there to support him more then someone who just thinks they are there for the ride.
