You should always vote. The next election will be not only a presidential election, though. There will be people in your area running for County council, state representative, Governor...all these people will be affecting your life directly, in the form of homeschooling regulation, college funding, daytime curfews, smoking regulation, driving laws, anything that affects you everyday. There are websites that rate candidates and elected officials on issues, you can check both their quotes and their votes on those. This is a great time, because all the candidates are out talking, instead of doing their jobs. Go meet a few!

Speaking of regulations, my state passed a bill that mandated that EVERYONE show photo ID when they buy alcohol. I guess it's not that huge a deal for Paps or Joe to whip out their Driver's License, but it is somewhat unnecessary.

Research is great if you have the time. But, even more importantly, try not to get to stuck on one aspect of a given candidate. Instead of eliminating candidates by finding one or two issues you don't agree with them on, try to find the best fit by tallying up the things you do agree with them on. Also realize that some of the biggest hot button social issues (i.e. abortion-type) are much bigger than the Presidency, and will never be resolved completely one way or the other. Candidates trumpet them because they incite the masses, but 100 years from now they will still be as hotly-debated and as unresolved as they are today. In the end, a President should be someone who compromises and brings people together, something both Reagan and Clinton did, eventhough they represented the different sides of the coin. Not a person who polarizes like GWB.

So calm and collected during a landslide. Outstanding presidential material I think.

It's actually kinda strange to say this, but Hillary is quite good looking in that pic.

Not really...
Although its good to see her with long hair. Its a shame theres still this concept that females have to cut their hair short in order to project the "power image" necessary to compete in male dominated positions.

Older women often find they have to lop their hair off anyways, cos it becomes harder to manage.

I'm with BoP on the reasons. Short hair looks better for her. It looks better for aging women in general.

I made my wife promise me she wouldn't cut her hair as she gets older, and I won't gain 100 lbs plus.
Maybe it's harder, but looking good is worth it.
