let's ignore the polls

For the next 2 months, our minds are going to be filled with campaign ads, blurbs from speeches, new information leaking out about the candidates, Bush doing some wonderful things to make the Republican party look good, celebrity endorsements, fundraisers, rallies, smearing, scandal, and polls.

The latest poll scared me a bit. Did SARAH PALIN really give McCain that boost? Are Americans really that stupid to buy into her? Then I read the article about not “hyperventilating.” But I am, a bit. Fear from 2000, my first presidential election. Fear of 2004, of the country proving just how naïve they are, of the corrupt system proving how corrupt it really was. However, I remain hopeful.

I have faith in the lazy democratic voters. I have hope that the under 30s who usually don’t vote will come out in droves and tip the scale. I have a true belief that the polls are skewed, and we will be surprised by what really happens. I hope the electoral system helps us rather than screws us this time. I want my faith in Americans to be renewed.
