Politically Correct.

I'm probably not the first person to blog about politics. I'm relatively interested in politics. Even though I'm young, I still have a view on politics.

I was reading an article from the Star Tribune tonight about the political debates taking place tonight. I'm actually rather disappointed that I won't be able to watch the debates; I'm taping them though. I'm really excited to see how they turn out. As of now, my vote (if I had one) would be leaning towards Obama. Maybe it's just because I'm usually more towards the liberal side in my views of political issues. Or, maybe Obama is just more appealing to me because of his contemporary act he puts on.

My goal is to be able to have a legitimate view on politics by the time election rolls around. I've heard that Edina's doing this thing called Kids Vote. At the polls, if parents bring their kids with, the kids can cast their vote and we can see who the kids would've voted for...that doesn't just include fifth graders, it's us too! Now I can legitimately support the vote, and I'll vote too! That's very satisfying for me. I've always told people to vote, but I've never been able to support my own words because the law forces me to be quiet. I'm excited to finally get to voice my opinion, even if it's in the least of ways.
