Presidential Election

Last night we had a great discussion on the Presidential election! Please check out the articles if you haven't done so already:

Bob Barr on Reproductive Health Issues

The Pennsylvania ballot will include Barack Obama (D), John McCain (R), Ralph Nader (I), and Bob Barr (L). The Green Party candidate, Cynthia McKinney is not on the ballot but can be written in.
In our discussion, we focused heavily on Cynthia McKinney, as she is the only woman running for President. Other topics included:

• the two-party system and its faults
• the role of third parties
• the centrist politics of Barack Obama
• what's left, what's right, and what's Libertarian?
• "radicalism" vs. the perception of radicalism

So now, LET'S ALL VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4!
