Yesterday, John McCain went on air stating he would be suspending his campaign to focus on the economic crisis at hand. Meanwhile Barack Obama responded by saying a job of a President is to be able to handle multiple tasks at one time. MCcain’s bailout seems to come at an odd time. Why didnt he suspend his campaign a week or so ago during the AIG mess? Would it have to do with slipping pole numbers? Or maybe the fact he wants to take the attention off of his VP running mate for a while?

Whatever the reason is, McCain seems to be suffering from old age mentality where focusing on more than one crisis is just too much for his old brain to handle. Kinda scary right? I mean what is he going to do if something huge were to happen? Send in Palin? If that were the case watch out for soccer mom mentalities. In the most unlikely chance that McCain gets elected, maybe by year 3, Palin will finally know what the job of the VP is, McCain may also be dead by then.

Innovation? War? Peace? Eco-Awareness? What ever it is I hope that it doesnt deal with the usual bickering that our country’s political leaders have been doing for the last 8 years. 2008 I believe will be the year that people my age will finally take part in our political process. Were much more informed now and we’ll actually have candidates to choose from that are actually different and that offer change. I think thats the biggest thing. 2008 year of change.
