Election Selection

I'm just as tired about the election hype as you are. My ballot is cast and I am eager for next Tuesday to get here just so we can have it over with.  Well, maybe not "over" as much as being finished with this part of the election.  I fear that no matter who wins, we are in for a bumpy inaugural and first 100 day ride for either a short time or a longer time depending on who's elected. But here are some conclusions I've come to regarding the voting Americans of this campaign:

  • Americans want to be respected no matter who they are.
  • Americans are suspicious of people with a lot of money.
  • Americans don't think anyone should mix their professional e-mails with their personal e-mails.
  • Americans are still heavily influenced by the media, particularly television.
  • Americans are divided into two power groups-the haves and the have nots.
  • American  "have-nots" want more opportunities for jobs.
  • American "haves" are still interested in big tax cuts.
  • Americans are more reluctant to accept immigrants than they used to be.
  • Americans are experiencing the strangest election in history.
  • Americans want change.
There are many other observations I could have made.  What are some that I've left out??? Will you miss any of the campaign drama and wish it wouldn't end???
