Welcome to Volitics!

I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's a presidential election this year in the U.S. And since the mainstream media (aka MSM) may shirk their coverage of this all-important event, I thought I would chime in with my own views on the waxing and waning of the presidential campaigns of Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama. Heck, if I get motivated I might even find out what Bob Barr and Ralph Nader are doing.

Here's a preview: right now I'm sure the topics everyone is wondering about are "who the heck is Sarah Palin?" and "are the Republicans going to cancel their convention because of Hurricane Gustav?" While the answers to these questions are important, the good thing about this (at least if you're of my political persuasion) is that you don't hear any questions about Barack Obama, even though he just gave what most say was a very solid acceptance speech in Denver (I didn't watch, don't have the stomach for it) just three or four days ago. This is a good thing for John McCain. The more the media is talking about you and not your opponent, the better it is for you - unless the talk is about some scandal. But it isn't, so we're good.

Sound good? Check back later when I'll delve into the answers to those questions and more. And I welcome any comments, just please keep it civil.
