The author of the book I chose, “Boomsday”, wrote this blog entry on who and why he is voting for this year’s presidency. Christopher Buckley is a well know author but also well known for being the son of William F. Buckley who past away this year. I came across this article because it was the second hit on Google under of course, Wikipedia, when I was looking up some background information on my author. It must be important commentary come up as the second hit for Google. Christopher followed his father’s footsteps not only by becoming a write but also his conservative outlook. In this article he explains how it is the first time he is voting democratically this year, which is going against their republican tradition. He talks about how he first favored John McCain and eventually on how his campaign fell to pieces, to cause him to vote for Barrack Obama. I agree with everything he said and we kind have the same view, except he knows a lot more then I do when it comes to backing up your points. Also reading some of the comments below the article, the negative ones, also take part on influencing my under knowledge of knowing about the candidates, but that is beside the point. Barrack over McCain any day. Now what I like even more then the article itself is how well it was written. It makes me excited to read and finish one of his most popular books.
