The primary reason why people know so much about the 2008 presidential elections is because they want change. They are extremely tired with the inefficiency of the current administration. I myself am one of these people. It seems that as we go on in time, and as the US government gets older, our nation is getting more and more corrupt. We still live in a society that harbors so much hate and wickedness, yet we have the nerve to claim that this nation is civilized and advanced. So many people hate people because of mere differences. It’s disgusting. AND, Our government has done NOTHiNG to remedy this very serious source of division within our nation. The executive branch in particular does not show concern for this at all. This shows us (well it shows me, at least) that if the government cannot fix this problem, then how can it efficiently fix other problems? You see, this is why we want change. America has grown tired of the monotony. The 2008 election gives us yet another chance at reform and, hopefully, a better America.

Nixon had resigned and Ford had pardoned him. The country was deeply hurt by the corruption and disgrace of the Presidency. My peers were very aware of the need for change, and I, along with many others, would have voted for Jimmy Carter, but I was six months too young.

Today, we again have corruption in the Federal government, and we have a deeply hurt and divided country in need of change. I only hope that the next President will be more effective and successful than President Carter was.

A lot more students, or at least the students I have talked to, have been very interested and informed about the elections and politics in general. It has been one of the main topics of conversation recently and I think its great! Maybe its just because we are all finally at the voting age, or close to it, and therefore are more politically aware. But I too think it has something to do with the different variety of candidates and the possibility of “change.”
