5. Election Reflection (that rhymes..that was unintentional)

Pt. 1
1. I was not very surprised of the turnout of the election. I was fairly sure that Obama was going to win. The reason I was fairly sure that he was going to win, is because I had run some simulations on a website that is dedicated to running simulations. I also noticed that Obama, according with allot of polls and other information, Obama had most of the large “swing” or “battle ground” states, as well as the states with the larger amount of votes were leaning towards him.
2. I hope that we can get out of Iraq, in a way that it is peaceful and that is effective and I hope that we can start resolving issues here at home and when things are good at home, then we can go and get in other people’s business, but only with a really good excuse.
3. What kind of “change” will we go through and how will it take place?


Pt. 2
1. I think I have been growing in the amount of civil knowledge I have. I think that this humanities class has opened my eyes to the world of politics that are around us. I am glad because I can actually carry on a descent conversation about politics. There is still a lot to learn tho.
2. Just talking about issues in general. Having discussions are always good, and the blogs help broaden our scope of what is happening in the world.
3. I think we should have more discussions.
4. I was glad that I could actually talk about politics. A year ago I would have not even cared about who won or anything to do with politics, and now I do.
