got excited? well this isn't about my last trip to the vu... but the fact that i'm having trouble figuring out who i like more ron paul or mike gravel. i really like the clam collective nature of gravel. but i also like paul's persistence and determination even though he is usually laughed at. i just think it is amazing paul has been fighting the same stance since the 80's (and probably earlier). this is demonstrated in his appearance on the Morton Downey Jr show ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHB2I83_N_k ).
one think that i want to document in the email is that i think that there are going to be a record number on people at the polls, namely people who didn't settle for the lesser of two evils (which includes me b/c i've never voted). and more importantly, the "internet factor" will be alarming when realized. it seems like ron paul and mccain are the only republicans utilizing social networking sites to promote their campaign. and gravel seems to have a lot of youtube support.
the internet almost seems like a trojan to most candidates. every once in a while i talk to people who don't understand why so and so has a myspace page. when in reality these sites are like pure gold. i think half of america beliefs information comes through main stream media, but the next generation is learning about the 2008 elections on youtube, myspace, etc. matt is included in the generation revelation even though he is from a previous generation =).
Its hump day!
