The Gap is Closing

Earlier this evening MSNBC showed Obama up 170 electoral votes to McCain's 90. The numbers are getting closer though. Obama is hitting the 200s and McCain is catching up. I'm eager for Colorado to get its stupid numbers in. I want to see if my voice actually made a difference or if everything I've been fighting about the last few months has been for nothing.

Democrat Party

I just got back from the Dem. party at Mesa Theater. It was a little lame. The majority of the people there were well over 40 and drinking heavily. I didn't feel like I needed to watch t.v. I could watch at home in a room full of adults I didn't know. The free food was alright and the atmosphere was welcoming. I just don't think I'm old enough to properly enjoy a political party party.

McCain Rally

I attended the McCain visit. I was surprised by many things. There wasn't any kind of line to get in. It didn't seem like that many people were filing through the gate, but when I got inside I was greeted by a good 1500 people. There were so many little kids, blindly waving McCain signs just as their parents were. I felt like these kid were not getting a chance to make decisions on their own. Despite how young they were, I think they are brainwashed. Mom and Dad aren't always right. McCain was over an hour late. I understand that he's got stuff to do, but by the time he spoke I was almost too pissed to listen. People didn't respond very nicely to my "Change we need" chants. Go figure.
