Official PARTICIPANT in the first ever YOUTH MEDIA BLOG-A-THON.

Election day is like going into your local 7-ll and heading over to the slurpee machine. You take a look at your choices. And think, “Do I want a blue or a pink drink today?” or “Do I want something kind of tart? Or something kind of sweet?”

Personally, for me picking a perfect candidate is almost as hard as figuring out this crazy labyrinth that we call politics. Before I could even vote I thought the people picked the next fit leader to run the country. But after I actually started learning a little more about the whole voting concept and beyond—my head started to hurt more and more with just the sheer load of information that I was getting. I couldn’t manage to wrap my head around it all.

Between the whole ‘regular’ delegates and super delegates – I don’t see how anyone can get mad at me for being confused as hell.

You need to have a BA in political science to be able to explain to people how everything works. I guess that’s where American Government teachers come in – but I guess I was too bored to tears at that point to care.

The producers of School House Rock really need to come out with a new video explaining all this stuff. If they can make a ‘bill on capital hill’ into a virtual hit – maybe my clueless-ness will be liberated by a brand new line of School House Rock music videos.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
