I haven't really watched the election other than the Palin contraversy. Ashley told me some stuff about the convention and how there's protesters and stuff. I think this election is going to be way different than the past elections.

I've been following the whole election deal pretty closely. I tried to follow the conventions and I did for the most part. I won't be able to vote but I still feel obligated to follow all of it.

I don't really follow the elections, it just makes me mad! I hear random stuff from my friends or my parents! I have been following it a lot more since starting school! But I don't get to vote this year so that's disappointing! I also see a lot of those annoying commercials trying to get people to vote for them, and that makes me not want to vote for them because they are annoying and I don't even agree with the stuff they are saying!

I wish i could vote in the next elections! I have been following the elections for the most part. I watched random part of the convention too. Mostly i hate watching the TV ads on about the elections because they are just bad talking each other and you never can know what is really true or not.
