Today’s the Day: Vote
WASHINGTON — It seems like this presidential campaign has been going on for years, and, in effect, it has. It wasn’t always clear that it would end up being Obama and McCain whose names would be on the ballot, but, here we are.
Obviously, I have been extremely interested in the election this year, and, as you know, I have a preference. I am encouraged by the poll numbers for my guy, but you never know what will happen. It will be a bittersweet win for either candidate, since the epic failure of the Bush administration will constrain the agenda of the next president. There was an opportunity in 2004 to set things on a better course, but it didn’t come to pass. The next four years are about clean up.
In any event, it’s critical that everyone remember that we are our government. The extent to which it works for us or against us is on the line. We don’t have direct democracy, so this election is our best opportunity to voice our opinions. And that only can happen when we vote. I already voted. If you haven’t yet, I hope you will.
