But If I Was......



I know I am not a US citizen, but I love when election time comes around.
Maybe it's something about watching the little images of the states turning red or
blue on the TV screen on decision day, or maybe it's all the drama involved when
2 political parties try to slam each other and all the scandals come out.

Whatever it is, I love the US election coverage and this year has been superb!
Almost having the first female presidential candidate, having the first African-
American candidate, AND all of Sarah Palin's drama has made my TV-viewing
cycle hour at the gym a lot more enjoyable. Thanks CNN :)

Even though I don't know every single issue that each candidate is representing,
I like to think of myself as a hard-core republican (in Canada I am a conservative).
Maybe because I was raised in a Christian home, or because I don't believe that
gays should have the right to marry. Or could it be both of those mixed with wanting
the "underdog" to win? I would love to see the look on the majority of celebrities
faces when the country is "red" yet again.

I am also completely sick of the "comedy" that seems to be found in bashing and mocking President Bush. He was put into office for a reason and I beleive the US needs to have a Republican leader (again, religious reasons).
Regardless of this, I DO believe that John McCain will be a better President than
Obama, and if I were a US citizen, he'd have my vote!
