With the 2008 United States election coming up in November, it is that time again when it is important to have an understanding of the candidates; after all, these are the men and women who are vying for one of two Resolute Desks in the world. The next 11 months leading up to the election will be some of the most hotly contested times in recent memory, with enough mud-slinging and slander to satisfy you for the next four to eight years. With this election looking to be the most open the public has seen since the days of James A. Garfield’s election in 1880, knowing who these people are, not just what they preach at you, is going to be the key in deciding this upcoming election. Thus, I’ve taken the arduous task of outlining three possible candidates from both major parties in hopes of assisting you in making the right choice.

People who start living out their hopes and dreams grasp a specific meaning to life that only a fraction of the people in this world will ever discover. I think instantly of people like Jim Elliot, Martin Luther King Jr., Joan of Arc, St. Stephen and Jesus, all of whom had dreams worth living and dying for. Even though most of these people never got to see the full fruit of their work, their legacy and dreams live on and have, in some cases, impacted and transformed the lives of literally billions of people.
