Who's gonna win it?

After going to see Blue Man Group last Friday with all I can say is that it was awesome. Somehow Program Council managed to get the entire front 3 rows for students, well done. All fun aside my life returned to monitoring politics as usual. With under 44 days until the election begins many Americans are still unsure about who they think will be our next President. On Sunday 9/22 "60 Minutes" held a double interview and asked both McCain and Obama the same questions in sequence to get a clear cut response on the issues from both Candidates. I would have to say that Obama was a little bit more offensive than Sen. McCain but not the less it was a good way to provide insight to uncertain voters.
This race is becoming so tight that Barak Obama has been campaigning in small towns like Reno Nevada. Reno, the self proclaimed “biggest little city,” is a city of gambling, drugs, and prostitution, and not somewhere you would expect to see a candidate visiting twice. His campaign claims that in such a tight race every vote counts, and getting a few thousand more votes from Reno could allow Barak to take Nevada and be one step closer to the white house. There’s still room to move around, in Ohio alone there are an estimated 900,000 people that still have yet to make a final decision regarding who they are going to vote for in this election
John McCain is traveling through Georgia today with the same intention. It appears now that in the Peach State McCain will finish with over a 20 point lead in the poles. After a less than energetic speech delivered at the Republican National Convention, someone needs to get John McCain some power drinks before the first presidential debate scheduled for Friday.
