The Revival

Like we've been talking about all year, Democrats are showing up to the voting booths at an unprecedented rate. Not surprisingly Republicans can't say the same, in fact they lost many former members who jumped the fence. Democratic party registration has actually raised over 1 million people in the last seven primaries states alone. Election experts have said that this is the most politically charged voters have ever been during the 2008 elections. The fact of the matter is that not many people are really content with the position the country has been put into by the current president. People don't really understand why we are paying four dollars a gallon or for that matter, why the economy seems to be crumbling. Both democratic candidates understand this and are reaching out and appealing to people who really never had any interest voting.

People who never thought to vote before are taking stances finally because life conditions are forcing them too. I'm glad that it finally seems that the country is becoming more involved the in voting process. Its unfortunate that it took such turmoil in this country to raise political awareness but hopefully this will be a continuing trend as we move on into this century.
