Who here is following the election?

Question

I found out today in school, that out of 63 kids, 10 are following it. I'm just kind of disappointed in the world? don't you think it's important for everyone above the age of 12 to follow it in the US, we are the next generation.

My question is who is following the election

Answer 1

I'm following it vaguely. I feel that one is sightly better than the other, but that both of them seem kinda... fake, as if they are hiding something, or are afraid to say too much, and I don't like Obama didn't choose Hilary for vice, or that McCain chose a female because he felt as if he needed something to gain women's votes.

... Okay, I guess I have been following it. More people are following at my school, but many of them can't vote yet, but you have to assume that the president this year will probably run again in four years, so we better pay attention to them now. Lol.

Answer 2

Yea...not a lot of people follow politics

I think they should make voting on the weekends, a lot more people would probably show up.

I follow politics. Get the New York Times every morning & watch 'Countdown with Keith Olberman'

Answer 3

this is an election year??

Answer 4

I am everyday!

Answer 5

I'm following it, I'm definitely over 12, and I'm not even an American! Kudos to you for being motivated and involved to even care, you are doing your country a service.

Answer 6

I'm following it very closely!

But I have to admit, this is really the first time I've been so into it... I think it's because this is the first time I'll be able to vote.

This is unrelated to the question, but related to the presidential campaigning... it has to do with one of McCain's policies... I thought some people on this section of Answers would be interested in signing this petition for the Human Rights Campaign:

Answer 7

I am, but then it ran away. I've been looking for it all day=[
