September 4th- On the last night of te Republican national convention, after several other speeches republican nominee John McCain spoke and accepted his nomination.
"Thank you all very much. Tonight, I have a privilege given few Americans — the privilege of accepting our party’s nomination for President of the United States. And I accept it with gratitude, humility and confidence. In my life, no success has come without a good fight, and this nomination wasn’t any different. That’s a tribute to the candidates who opposed me and their supporters. They’re leaders of great ability, who love our country, and wished to lead it to better days. Their support is an honor I won’t forget. I’m grateful to the President for leading us in those dark days following the worst attack on American soil in our history, and keeping us safe from another attack many thought was inevitable; and to the First Lady, Laura Bush, a model of grace and kindness in public and in private. And I’m grateful to the 41st President and his bride of 63 years, and for their outstanding example of honorable service to our country."

September 7th- Several days after the end of both major party conventions, Senator Clinton airs an aid attacking the McCain campaign for not acknowledging the financial crisis and the 6.1% unemployement.

September 15th, 2008- The country is shocked by the bancrupcy of Lehman brothers. On August 20, John McCain said in an interview with Politico that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, owned; "I think — I'll have my staff get to you." Both on the stump and in Obama's political ad, "Seven", the gaffe was used to portray McCain as unable to relate to the concerns of ordinary Americans. This out-of-touch image was further cultivated when, on September 15, the day of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, at a morning rally in Jacksonville, Florida, McCain declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," despite what he described as "tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street." With the perception among voters to the contrary, the comment appeared to cost McCain politically.

September 20th- Lehman Brothers file for bankrupcy.

September 24th- 4 days after the Lehman Brothers collapse, both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee John McCain suspend their campaigns and head to Capitol Hill to help craft a $700 billion bailout package for the troubled financial industry. Whether or not the first debate schedualed for the 26th wil take place, is currently unknown.

Thanks for the replies, guys!
Debates will be up tomorrow

[ej2mm15]

September 26th 2008- After much speculation over whether the debate would occur, both John McCain and Hillary Clinton arrived at the University of Mississippi. Although the debate was planned to focus on foreign policy and national security, Jim Lehrer did devote the first half of the debate to the financial crisis. Over the course of the first half of the debate, Clinton easily blew McCain away on the financial crisis and hitting on key points such as unemployment, and that McCain had no plan for our failing economy until two days ago. After the talks of economics, McCain was able to bring the debate to somewhat of a standstill.

Who do you think one the debate?
Clinton 56%
McCain 19%
Not Sure 25%

October 1st- Unemployment at 6.2%


October 2nd- The 2008 Vice Presidential Debate was held today at washington University. The questions varied on all topics, but in all Alexander hit at how little experiance Obama had, being only two years in the senate and in national government politics. Although Obama swept the floor with Alexander on the economy, like Clinton did with McCain, Alexander was able to hit Obama with many other issues such as family values, and education.

Who do you think won the vice presidential debate?
Obama 37%
Alexander 32%
Not sure 31%

October 7th- The second presidential debate was held in Nashville townhall, and moderated by Tom Brokaw of NBC. With most of the past few weeks of news obsessing with the economy and major companies declaring bankrupcy, the focus of the debate was obvious, and so was the winner.

Who do you think won the debate?
Clinton 64%
McCain 28%
Not Sure 8%

October 15th- Thr third and final Presidential debate was held at Hofstra University in Hempsted, New York. With there having been a month since the financial meltdown began, McCain was able to somewhat keep up with Clinton on the economy. Clinton promiseed that if she became president, that by the end of her term the millions of newly unemployed people would have there jobs back and would no longer live in fear. McCain was viewed in this debate as out-of-touch with the American people on this major subject as he continuesly focused on how to bailout Wall Street and major companies, while making little referance to the average American. On Foreign Policy, McCain was able to win some ground with his plan to have a 30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan and promise the Osama Bin Laden will be a captive of the US government by the end of his first term. Clinton meanwhile spent more time focusing on withdrawing troops in Iraq.

October 18, 2008- Following all the debates, and Clinton's rising numbers, Senator McCain has been campaigning harder than ever.

Senator McCain has planned a trip across the country for the next ten days, visiting five different states each day.

October 22nd- Senator Clinton sent Senator Obama to respond to Alexanders criticism.

"I'm sorry Senator Alexander, but this isn't 1993. You haven't been in the education field in 15 years, what could you possibly know about our school systems today?

October 24th- Obama's comment was met by wide criticism by Republicans an independents. Although since we are in a recession, the comment was largely brushed off to focus on what people cared about the most--the economy.

October 29th- Following his 50 state trip, Senator McCain has returned with a new economic plan to cut taxes and earmark spending as well as help bailout several major companies, that he vows will go to the house as soon as he becomes President. An unnamed source claims that McCain does not plan to go through with his plan, and it is only a last ditch effort to defeat Clinton.

November 1st- Now in the days before the election, the Clinton has decided that due to poll numbers, they don't need to campaign anymore as the winner is already sealed.

"Goodbye Ohio, next time I see you it will be as President-elect of the United States." Clinton said in her last speech.

November 4th, 11:30 PM- Following the announcement that Senator Clinton is now President-elect Clinton, Senator McCain has made his concession speech at the Biltmore Hotel.

"Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening. My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honour of calling Senator Hillary Clinton to congratulate her. To congratulate her on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, her success alone commands my respect for her ability and perseverance. But that she managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend her for achieving. I urge all Americans ... I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating her, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited. Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that. It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again. We fought — we fought as hard as we could. And though we feel short, the failure is mine, not yours."

12:00 AM, November 5th- Following McCain's Concession, President-elect Clinton has made her victory speech at her home in Chappaqua, New York.

"For everyone here across America who's ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, and for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you. Tonight is not our victory. Our Victory is when every American has health care. When the economy is not in shambles. When do not have thousands of troops in two different country. Our victory is when every American has the peace and prosperity they deserve!"
