Election Blog # 2

even before the stock market started doing funky things and all the banks decided to fail, the economy was the most important issue to me. the recent economic issues have just added to it. money is a big deal to me... but on top of that i'm thinking a lot about being able to afford college, getting a good job, paying bills. car insurance? an apartment? how am i going to own things and pay for things if the country falls into another depression? will i be able to get a job at all?? scary shiit.. a local issue prominent in this part of VA especially is immigration (the illegal kind) i know in north carolina a judge is fining 7-11 owners for letting illegal immigrants hang out in front of the store...they need work too... also a green card. dont punish the business owners because othe ppl are loitering. just put up a sign.
as far as the candidates and the debates go..i didn't see the whole debate but i don't think i missed much... there was no clear winner, but both candidates held their own pretty well (AKA they didn't say anything worthwhile but B.S'd enough to make it seem like they answered the questions; we all already know that Barack is a better public speaker, though he did look a little angry when McCain was talking.. he was staring him down.. and McCain didn;t look at him...
so it was extraaaa boring :/
after the debate obama ran an ad saying if you actually want some substance (which i know you do!) go to my website! so he at least is taking advantage of technology to help his campaign.. McCain may be a little too old or old fashioned for that, but he has plenty of TV ads to compete with barack on that front

i agree, money is a big deal...it's hard to fathom the possibility of a large portion of our generation not being able to afford a college education.

plus immigration (the illegal kind) must be dealt with as the illegal population is causing a major strain upon the economy.
