To begin this blog entry, I would like to unveil something about myself. Before the race the the nominations of both parties I didn't have a care towards politics, I thought it was just a bunch of arguments without much resolution, but now I know better. Articles and news like this is what got me into politics. In this article written by the Washington Post, much is discussed about how Palin has changed voters and could ultimately change this election. How will she change this election one might ask? Well, by the looks of this article, she's going get gun activists to vote. To quote the governor of Montana "in Montana, we like our guns. We like big guns. We like little guns. We like shotguns. We like pistols. Most of us own two or three guns. Gun control is hitting what you shoot at."And when asked why Senator Obama couldn't win his state his shortly replied "guns".
Its the beauty of elections. People from every background you think of have the ability to change elections, even the uneducated. It's the hard reality as well, because this election shouldn't be about guns it should have any levy. America is in a crisis on its home-front and abroad. And if idiots like the ones in Montana think that voting for McCain is the way to go because they like having "big guns" is scary. People need to understand the major issues that involve us all, as a country. We cannot be selfish it times like these because no matter who is elected, if we don't all start making changes to our country and our world more bad things are to come.

I'm glad that this year has ignited your personal interest in politics. I too was relatively uninterested in politics until I got to college. Watch out, it's addicting. Love the contrast you make here:
