The Anti Neo-Democracy Theorist

Scarlett Johansson just came to my school today to urge students to support Obama. Yes, the actress in “Lost in Translation”. And I missed it because I was doing some work in the library. ARGH.

On a more serious note, most Carleton students and faculty will be heading to the nearby High School to cast their votes for their nominee. It seems that Obama is the favorite among Carleton students. I prefer Hillary Clinton because I think she has specific policies on how to improve America’s image round the world, the healthcare system in America as well as to boost economic growth.In contrast, while Obama has a very strong presence in front of the crowds, I am not sure how comprehensive his governance plans are ,and what exactly he will do to improve America’s livelihood, especially among the middle and lower class. Although I suspect since a large constituency of Obama’s supporters are students, higher education might benefit more from an Obama Presidency. We just have to wait and see.

It is an exciting day right here in Minnesota - and it is great to be in the thick of things.
