The Upcoming Presidential Election

I do not think that the decision of the upcoming presidential election will come down to whether the republicans or the democrats are taking the moral high ground. I do think that this plays a role in this election, but I do not think that it will be the deciding factor. I think that one of the most important issues in this election is which one of the presidential candidates will promote and have a better plan for change to take place in the United States. This is extremely important because most Americans want change to take place. Americans are tired of high gas prices. Even though they have dropped about fifty cents, they seem to be pretty constant now around three dollars and fifty cents a gallon (for unleaded gas). This is still too high. I remember the days when people though that two dollars a gallon was too much for gas. Now, Americans would be delighted to pay two dollars a gallon for gas. I know I would. Also, many American want the war in Iraq to end. Several people have died in this war. People’s children and love ones have lost their lives in the War on Terrorism. Also, way too much money has been spent on the war that could have went on several other more valuable aspects of life taking place here in the United States, such as education. In my opinion, Obama is beating McCain in the category of “change” and wanting to change some of the negative situations that the United States is facing right now. Like Obama said, McCain voted in agreement with George Bush ninety percent of the time. This means that the United States (in most cases) will be the same as it is under George W. Bush. Most people want change. That is one of the reasons why Obama wins in the “change” category. Also, “change” is basically the one word that can sum up his campaign. Lots of people talk about a recession coming, and that has a lot to do with the election also. People want to know how McCain or Obama can make the economy of the United States better. Another big issue in this upcoming presidential election is who has the most experience. Of course, John McCain wins in this category over Barack Obama. Of course he does, in part, because he is much older than Obama is. So, he has had much more time to do different activities in government. In my opinion, experience is good, but if you are not going to change anything, then what is the use in having all of that experience the same thing could be said in vice versa with Obama. Even though experience plays an important role in this election, I think that change plays the most important role in this election. With the economy the way it is now, people want change. If this is true, then Obama should win this upcoming election. I guess we will have to wait and see in November.
