Civic Engagement

I went to the homelessness forum last Thursday, and over all I felt that it lacked direction. (1.5 hours) I did get to hear a great comment though. “You will not hear either candidate take a position on homelessness because McCain is trying to separate himself from Bush (who took a stand against homelessness) and Obama is already dealing with accusations of being a socialist.

I also went to the election night results at the cable center. I agree with previous bloggers that the excitement could be felt in the air, but it felt kind of repetitive. While others might disagree with me I felt we only confirmed what we already knew weeks ago. McCain would have had to win all the swing states and then some, quite the impossible feat considering the state of the economy.
