rock the vote!

OK. Let me preface this post with "i've had a beer or two" and am watching the Mets game.

so, I was no political science major, but I have been challenged to take a stand...or at least study up on politics. Bare with me as I try and sound intelligent about an issue I don't know much about.
I want to know what you girls are thinking? have you read up on the candidates for 2008? Barack was actually in NYC today and although I didn't go I was able to catch a live feed of his speech. It was exciting and directed to us, generation y and unfortunately, as with most youngin's and Americans they want a change.

being a nyc girl I have a found place in my heart for Giuliani and what he did for NYC. (although I wasn't here during his term!) I was watching a blog about his "12 commitments to Americans" and I just wasn't feeling his approach to this election. I feel he is hiding behind the 9-11 attacks and is trying to win the vote with that. I also read an article in the Art Voice (Which in all fairness is highly democratic paper) was saying how Rudy, although did a lot for NYC and crime, didn't really have his hand in anything regarding terrorist and or plans against attacks.

So, I am just starting a topic and I am hoping to get/hear opinions! Since no one is reading/blogging or posting >:O (that's a mean yelly face.) Take a look..let's chat

so, I am also not very up to date on my politics. Unfortunately I tend to just blindly vote for Republicans...but anyway...did you gusy see Hillary wants to give every baby a $5000 savings bond? I'm torn between "That's a rediculous idea" and "I hope I can pop a kid out during her term if she's president"

Also, since Rory Gilmore is on the campaign tour with Obama, I'd have to say he's cooler ;o)
