Election Season

I know many of my critics have been waiting for another blog, aka mom and grandma, but I am now finally able to post again. For the past months election season in Alaska has been quite the up and down roller coaster. With Gov. Sarah Palin being announced as McCain's running mate, Stevens going to trial and being convicted, and Don Young, "Poor Don Young", also being investigated... this has been quite the political scene so far in Alaska. As it came closer and closer for voters to make their decision for 2008... it has only made my job and daily duties even more stressful. I have been at sign wavings at 7:30 in the morning just to catch candidates with their volunteers, I have been to more political rallies than I ever thought I would attend in my life, I have talked to a convicted felon that the people still continue to support for Senate (Ted Stevens, as if you didn't know), and I was at Election Central all night last night until one in the morning. As election season has almost come to a close, I can finally take a big sigh of relief. Although I enjoy hearing the different sides of issues all day long and the political jargon that many candidates try and use to mix up your thoughts, and Joe Paskvans mother endorsing all his commercials("I'm Joe's mother, and I approve this message")... I can finally say that I am quite glad Election 2008 is over with. It's been real... It's been fun... But it hasn't been real fun.
