ROCK THE VOTE!

As this rainy Friday weather has erased any doubt that fall is indeed upon us, it’s hard to miss the definitive buzz in the air that only gets louder the closer we get to Nov. 4.

Today seems especially buzzy, with the news that President Bush signed the $700 billion “bailout” plan into law this afternoon and the never-ending stream of pundits analyzing last night’s vice presidential debates.

Whatever your political leanings, this election season has seemed particularly fun – for lack of a better word – to discuss. And that’s exactly what we’re hoping you’ll do with us.

On Monday, the VBJ will send out a number of polls regarding positions up for election on the national, state and local levels via email. We want to know what you think about the candidates. What better way to gear up for Election Day than to exercise your voting muscles?

Your votes will help shape our election coverage. And for that, we salute you.
