16 days left to go

With the poles so one sided these days, I wonder if much can poliably change. Even McCain himself has begun to call himself the under dog of this election. Who would ever think that a senator of 22 years would be an underdog to senator of just a few years. It is an amazing situation that some never thought would happen. It has been a long road at that too. With such a short time left to the election many are looking back on how we got here.

With a long primary season, two large conventions, the over blow drama of choosing a vice president, and the after mass of these choices, a long general election season with 3 presidential debates, and one vice presidential, I start to wonder was it all worth it? Was all that actually important to the American people? Or is it just habit to keep having these kinds of elections?

I tend to think a lot of it is unnecessary. From the start of this rat raise two years ago I pretty much knew who I would be support. I am not saying that everyone should be as determined as I, but who really needs two years of intense conversation to make up there mind? How many people really are "undecided" 16 days before the election. May those who are still undecided are more apathetic that anything else.

Either way I don't see the election process changing any time soon. We Americans have grown attached to it, and we don't want to let go of even one chance to watch candidates duke it out on prime time TV.
