I am totally out of touch with the common American, but I don't really care. The average American believes in God, a literal 7-day creation, and that the founding fathers were Christian. And that's merely the beginning. So, I can't really begin to speculate on how the upcoming election will go. Everyone I know right now is A) going to vote for Kerry and b) terrified he won't win. I don't even know that it matters. I mean, half the country doesn't vote anyway, so clearly they don't think it does. And to an extent it's true; local government has much more power over people, not to mention Congress actually having power. If Gore had been elected, Aghanistan would still have been invaded. Maybe Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq. Maybe Iraq would have waited a year, for the UN to join up with us. Well, never know now, i'm just saying people have this perspective that the President has all this power. How many members of Congress voted against him?
