To some folks, the presidential election may be just another political decision, but for most it is the biggest decision our country's voters can make. People that just pick a candidate and choose one or choose not to vote at all are making a tragic mistake. By getting to know each candidate, clearly, it can be seen that one stands apart from the rest.

His decision to go into the election just seems like more of a hobby than a passion. George Bush has had his shot at being president and hasn't shown our country much. He has made several bad decisions, such as how U.
