Election 2008 (for short) By Tanner Stoker

Well, so far this year has been full of suprises, but for republicans, it ended the way it started, and for the democrats, well who knows. All I know is the longer it takes for them to nominate either Barack or Hillary the better. I still wish Mitt could have done better but hey, their's always 2012, and yes, he'll be running against a second term for Barack Obama. Some might say no way but its the simple truth. Republicans have no chance with the candidate they nominated. John McCain is to close to the liberals on to many issues and like they always say, if you put a liberal Republican against a liberal democrat, the democrat wins! Come November conservative republicans are going to stay home. Most of the blame could be placed on the preacher Mike Huckabee who if he had dropped out before Florida, Mitt Romnay would be our nominee and we would be looking towards a candidate which the conservative base can relate to. Though Barack has Zero experiance and no qualifications to be president, he has the ability of great speech and remember, this election is all about change and he is louder than any other candidate on that front although it might not be change for good. If John McCain picks a decent running mate, he'll have a slim chance against Barack. As republicans, we need to focus on winning seats in the house and the senate and electing state and local conservative leaders. That is our duty and only chance at keeping a say in anything. We must get involved in local elections even if we are not satisfied with the presidential election. We must Take a Stand against Liberalism and push Conservatism forward so we as Americans can remain safe and Free.
