POLITICS - A BEGINNER'S GUIDE

Yesterday was my first election experience as president. I must admit I was a newbie to the political scene. I had voted before, even worked a couple of campaign events in the past, but boy was I unprepared for the entire experience of Georgia/Cobb politics! I sit on the Political Action Committee for CCAE as the president and was involved in the political interviews. I found out that sometimes you want both candidates to win, sometimes you want neither candidate to win! But usually you can only endorse one person. That decision can be difficult, especially when  members of both political parties are on the PAC. You do some research, interview the candidates, debate with your committee, and then go with one person. Do you pick who you like best? Who you think will win? Who is already in office and has done good things for education? Someone who is unknown but promises great stuff? In the end all you can do is your best and hope that it doesn't blow up in your face.
