I am angry.

Actually, outraged may be the most appropriate word.

To start with, a little about me
I'm probably most readily classified as a socialist or communist. I don't really know the difference. But in an idyllic world, everything would be shared and free and jobs would be on a rotating basis, free health care, no wars, no weapons, no class system at all. Not evil communism. Happy love communism.

Preface
We are literally hours away from the conclusion of one of the most important events in our lifetime: the 2008 presidential election. Tens of millions of Americans will have voted for the new leader of the free world. History will be made with either the first African American president or the first female vice president. Both are major steps in our country's history.

Anticipation and apprehension only seem to swell, hardly fade, in these final few hours, and we acknowledge, we celebrate, we know — Election Day is upon us.

I’d like to start out by saying that I normally like to at least try and follow politics and current events, as part of being a semi-informed citizen and all of that. But with two weeks left before everyone (by which I mean 35 percent of non-felon citizens over age 18 or whatever) goes off to vote, I’ve reached my limit, I have to say:

I want this election to be over.

Due to the fact that the debates can't seem to last very long on the TVs in our house, and the other fact that I was far too lazy to move to a room with a TV in it, I decided to watch the debate tonight online. That way, I could watch while filling out music surveys on Facebook (read: doing my homework).

In the third and final debate between presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama, McCain needed something big. All the major networks talked about how he would have to be at his best to make sure that his campaign would be able to rebound after a hellish last few weeks. He came out and looked Obama straight in the eye and thus began the debate.

8:05 p.m. — Hey, we're already back to the same old song and dance … the economy! I feel like it should spelled with capital letters. The Economy. That sounds better.

I'm thinking I should write more. But I'm also thinking that I've got nothing else to say.

I guess I could do what the candidates do — repeat the same things over again.

First of all, I'd like to praise Isaac for his insightful analysis of the state of the election. He made several excellent points, and I won't argue with the idea that an Obama victory seems more and more certain with each passing day.
