The reality of the Presidential Election in the year of 2008 is somewhat of a sad one. Today's rush and go society leaves little time to research not only one but two candidates. When it comes down to it, getting someone to not only vote but be and educated voter is tough. In general conversation recently I have noticed many of my piers are educated on, if any, just one candidate. Therefore i feel as a twenty one year old senior in college i will be above the curve if I do my research, even if only to find my feelings about each candidate remain the same. All this being said at the beginning of this week I decided I was going to make my Republican self watch the Democratic Convention. I think it was interesting the feelings I had while watching. I felt very divided and confused. In a time where the one thing our country needs to do is stand as one we have never seem more divided. This election is important and I feel as an American it is our contribution to society to inform ourselves about each candidate.
