Ready Set VOTE!

Finally...after seemingly endless campaigning, advertising, deliberation, mud slinging, hair splitting, analyzing and reviewing, that blessed day has arrived. So many of us have watched and waited. Some of us have simply chosen to ignore. I am still not fully convinced as to which has made the wisest choice, but nevertheless we will all be facing the same choice on election day.

As closing arguments were fired today, both McCain and Obama sought to distinguish themselves from their opponent as much as possible, drawing heavily on economic policy differences. While Obama was fighting off accusations of socialism and higher taxes, McCain attempted to further detach himself from the economic policies of George Bush. Each candidate wants to be something new, fresh and dependable for the American people. Undoubtedly the American people will have a difficult decision to make, choosing between an experienced, more predictable and uncompromising leader, and a movement motivated, unpredictable, yet enthusiastic one.

Is the United States up for the gamble? Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain. This has become a very historic election, bringing many firsts for the American people. My feeling is that this election has in store quite a few more firsts for the nation.
