Not to go all political on you, but I think will anyway. It seems the Presidential election in the United States is greatly overshadowing the upcoming Canadian Federal election (on October 14th). I agree the U.S electon is crucial, whereas the Canadian election will probably result in the same as the last - a Conservative minority.

I appeal to all Canadian voters - which party are you voting for come October 14th? Americans - how about you?

I’m just curious.

I bet you’re thinking, good god, what topic do I NOT cover?  I’ve already made it well known my love of fashion, then there’s the technology geek in me, and now I’m dabbling with politics.

Well what’s behind this is an interesting discussion for debate was brought to my attention today, though the rumors have been circulating for a while.  There are allegations that the media is giving Barack Obama an unfair advantage in this Fall’s election, with much more attention, buzz, photos and air time then that given to John McCain.

I agree that there is definitely a hype with Obama, though I don’t think it’s unfair.  Yes, I’m biased in that I would like to see him win as opposed to a republican.   I think anyone who pays attention to the media would say with certainty there is a public fixation with him, probably due to a number of factors.  One, he stands out because, omgz I said it, he’s black and also because he is younger then previous presidential candidates.  Two, he’s good looking which is always a help and Three, he’s a democrat, so if the media’s views are left wing, they are going to favour him.

So no, things aren’t completely even from a media standpoint, but that’s to be expected.  I imagine the more conservative media such as CNN would be favouring John McCain so it’s always a balance.  In the end, who will be president will be determined by America, and I think they’re ready for Ch-ch-changes!
