so id first like to say, before revealiing whether im a democrat or republican, that the girl who wrote sad american had a VERY strong arguement. im not VERY into politics, and i didnt follow everything very closely this election, but i did vote kerry/edwards. to be honest, i didnt know much of anything. still to this day, after doing some research, im still a little dusty on which party holds what views. anyways, being a young white female, like the sad american, i felt for what she was saying. i think the candidtates focused a lot on the swing states, which is understandable, but didnt even try to win over the other states. this not being a good example but Kerry didnt even try to go and win over Texas, because he assumed that he had absolutely no chance of winning their votes. (which he didnt but you get the picture) i think sad americans arguement was really strong and included a lot of pathos. she made such good points that being one of the people who wasnt leaning strongly to either side, she could have dragged me with her to vote for Bush. because im not a hard-core democrat, i honestly wouldnt know how to persuade a bush-leaning voter to vote for Kerry. thats all i got for now, its hard to put the thoughts into words....
