" Name: Bekah Age: 20 College: Harvard University Who are you voting for and why? I am definitely voting for Obama. Although I was initially a Clinton supporter, I was just as pleased to see Obama win the nomination. He is young, charismatic, personable, and energetic. He has the compassion to listen to people and to set this country back on track. He is smart, well-spoken, and determined to do well. He refuses to take no for an answer. He has all the qualities that I admire in a leader, and for that reason I am confident he will make a great president. Why do you think young people are so excited about this election? I think everyone is so excited about this election because it is going to set a precedent no matter what. Either we will have the first black president or the first woman vice president. It is incredible. Also, our country has had such a terrible time these past few years. I feel like America has been stuck in a rut politically, and people are sick of it. Everyone is ready for a new president to lead us back to glory. Whether a person believes that candidate is Obama or McCain, it doesn&amp;#039;t matter. Everyone is just excited to see who the next president will be. What issue is most important to you? I am very concerned with social issues such as abortion rights and gay rights. Also, with the economy being as bad as it is, I have become more concerned with how the candidates will improve the economy. The war in Iraq is also important. How are the candidates planning on handling the war? The answer to that question is very important to me. What&amp;#039;s your favorite blog or news show (or fake news show!)? The SNL skits are hilarious \u2014 to be honest, that is the best news show of them all! But The Colbert Report is also really informative and I enjoy watching that. Every week, Seventeen interviews a real girl to find out where she stands on the election. Check back for more Electionistas!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
