Running the Last Lap ...

... TO THE FINISH LINE!

After all the debates, conventions, political analysis, SNL skits, campaigning, rallies, name calling, negative ads and hard work -- the time has come. Tonight one of the presidential candidates and their running mate will cross the finish line of a race they've been running (and we've been watching) for nearly 2 years.

No matter who you vote for, we can all agree on one thing; this is history in the making.

Will the first African American make it into the White House alongside a man who has much respect as a U.S. senator?

-OR-

Will a man who fought for his country in a war go from former P.O.W to President, brining with him the first woman into the White House?

Those questions will soon be answered, and when all is said and done America will usher in the 44th president of the United States.

Each candidate has put their heart and soul into this campaign, trying to prove to us that they have what it takes to be the next Commander-in-Chief. Along the way there have been fumbles, achievements, gaffs, tough questions and historic moments, but through it all McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden have kept the momentum going. Was this race unfair at times? Yes! Were the institutions that are suppose to report us the facts bias towards certain candidates? Yes! But when you take all of that out of the equation you have 4 people who, I believe, have America's future in their best interest.

I commend John McCain, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama and Joe Biden for their hard work and dedication throughout this entire election process. Each one of them has come a long way, and in their own way has what it takes to lead this country.

It is now time for America to decide. May the best man win!
