The State of the Room

With the election only 12 or 13 days away, my roommates and I (all of us are...liberals) are becoming more and more excited and nervous about the upcoming presidential election. Between the four of us, it is easy to say that we cover the full spectrum of feelings about the race. My roommate, Josh, who is usually an upbeat and optimistic individual, has been heard dishearteningly proclaiming that Bush is going end up winning. He seems to have reached a point where he doesnt have faith in those voters who accept information instead of questioning the constant spin that all the President's men send our way. Chris is very confident in Kerry's campaign. He is sure that Kerry will prevail. Zach, who can usually be found talking to himself after trying to talk a certain amount of sense into his closed minded girlfriend, presents a slightly less extreme confidence in the Senor Kerry. As for me, my feelings about the upcoming elections is a mish mash of the three outlooks. I am always suspicious of the Republicans ability to gain support with misleading and elementary politics, for example, the most recent commercial put out by the Bush Campaign, which doesnt attack John Kerry's voting record, but instead groups John Kerry together with all of his "liberal allies". The entire TV spot is filled with deception and spin, for example, it states that the liberals voted against a successful Reagan. How could those damn liberals vote against a dead man? He is dead, he has to be right....right?...I digress. Anyway, I think Kerry is closing well and he has a great chance to win..............................................................................................................................................................................I just wish and hope that Osama Bin Laden doesnt show up in American custody next week.
