Down to the Wire

i watched a couple political speeches this weekend. one was Sarah Palin and the other Obama. all i really learned was, that when its this close to the election, the details of the campaign aren't really that important. the things they are going to do...don't really make it into the speeches. it was all about what the opponent said. what they opponent did. what was wrong. what they were going to do to fix it. and then joe the plumber. on and on.

i guess i really feel like the election is a dividing kind of thing. i mean, i think its great we have the freedom to choose our leader. but at the same time, it kind of freaks me out as to how much politics can run a person's life. i've been wondering, if the side you (speaking metaphorically about anyone)doesn't win, we will all be able to get over and get behind the next president? will that even be possible? i feel like there are so many people taking such huge stands, and so what happens if we can't get it together? as novemember 4th gets closer...i've been wondering about that.

on a totally separate topic: i want Snow Patrol's new cd. i bet its awesome. also, i was checking out Switchfoot's website today and found an entry by their media guy (the person who takes pictures of them and who makes the podcasts) about their tour and specifically about their show in MN. he posted a few pictures, so i thought i'd share them. i just think its cool...i was there. haha. okay, actually i can't upload them here. but here's the link.
