Journal- If i were 18, would i vote? 9/18/08

Personally if I was 18, i would be voting this November. First of all, because I am not just a teenager who would be just voting for the most popular candidate. I feel that the who vote based on popularity, do this because they aren't fully back rounded to vote according to what they know and think is a good decision. And not only am I knowledgeable through school (ie projects, lectures, and current events.) but through my friends and family. And would make my decision based on who i believe is best, not being a bandwagon. This election will also mark history, if Obama wins; and I would've been part of it, If i were to vote.
