This is a political blog because the election is so very soon and it is going to be historic no matter who wins. These are a few links that I believe are important for people to read to know what is going on in this election.

This first link is to an article from CNN written by Jeffrey Toobin and I belive that it is important that people read this article because he explains in a way that is easy to understand and it reminds people of what each of the candidates plans are. I think that people forget what the candidates would do if they became the President because of all the media coverage about where they are speaking, or what the latest campaign commercial says and people might forget what each candidate wants to achieve.

This next link I feel is important because it outlines a lot of the issues facing the United States today and tells the reader what each candidate would do if elected President. It is not a big article and it is separate links that the reader can click on to find out what McCain or Obama would do if elected next to each other which I feel people would prefer instead of trying to compare the two themselves. This article is also from CNN.

The next website I believe people should look at to learn about the election is the entire Rock the Vote website. This is an interactive website aimed at a younger crowd, it shows celebrities getting involved in the election which I feel motivates younger people to get involved. If they see their favorite celebrity doing something important I feel that we as the younger generation will get involved. It has music videos telling people how important it is to vote so I feel that this site makes the younger generation feel that it is important to vote and that they need to.
