Tis The Season

Lucky for us Americans we get to "decide" on a new President every four years.  We really don't decide of course the electoral college does but that's difficult to explain and might lead the 40% of Americans that will vote, to become despondent and not vote.  Well not all 40% since some of that number actually would think that you are joking since this is a democracy after all.  Of course it is not, but lets not go there either.  What should drive most of the voters way from the polls are the "two" candidates themselves. The incumbent hasn't exactly been a world beater, but then challenger seems make things much worse every time he opens his mouth (see binders of women...).  Add to that, the knowledge that both guys are basically getting bankrolled by unions, banks and corporations it becomes increasingly hard to fault the 60% of Americans that will sit this one out. 
As my wife and I watched the most recent debate she commented that does it really matter who is elected, will our lives change that much.  I had to agree with her, it probably won't change.  Though it is important to care, because our boy is watching and it is our job to instill the belief that his vote is his voice and that he can make a difference in America with his vote.
