Current Event Week 2!!!!

According to the report from CNNs' writer Paul Steinhauser , it seems that Obama is gaining swing states by a small margin. Florida, for example, now seems to be leaning closer to Obama, with Obama leading McCain by five points. This could be the outcome that many older people (of which many live in Florida) have been shown to favor Obama so far. This surprises me because I would think think people who may be around 50 or older would support McCain for his experience, as well as the fact that many people around that age fought in Vietnam as he did. This is just one surprise out this campaign. In our state of Virginia, polls suggest that Obama has a nine point lead with 53% of the votes. Virginia is changing sides this election, being known for voting Republican since elections in 1964.  Many people regard this success to the debate last week. Although Obama agreed with McCain a lot (which was weird) many people liked seeing a candidate who could understand another point of view, which is something he will have to do if elected office. This I can understand. If the US is going to work with other nations, compromises will have to be made, and can only be made by equal understanding. Still, this is so weird! This election is changing everything!  It's cool but so different at the same time. And is it for the best? 

What's also interesting is that Thursday night Sarah Palin and Joe Biden are going to have their debate in Missouri, a state that recentley is being thought to swing democrat. McCain is going to really have to step it up. If he doesn't win at least one of the next two debates, we'll probably being saying hello to President Obama.
