Midterm Election Review

Last night I flipped back and forth from Fox News to CNN to watch the election race. I noticed each station had an election poll total which had either the Democrats leading or the Republicans leading with a little more seats in the Senate and House than the other station. After getting confused and annoyed, I referred to Yahoo.com news and then MSN.com. Both sites had the same confusing information. I learned that either the Republicans won the House or didn’t, and that the Democrats won the Senate or didn’t. Then, I tried to find my fifth grade civics book so I could find out what the House and Senate are. I learned that the Senate is considered the Upper House, and that the House of representatives is considered the Lower House, but no one calls them that anymore. Furthermore, Black-males are only worth ¾’s the vote as one Whitemale; I’m uncertain if this is still true. Also the President has the power to start a war, I am also uncertain if this is true. Also the American Indians gave us this land freely; I think that’s still true. I would go on CNN.com or Foxnews.com, but they don’t give me the actually information. Today, I relied on Wikipedia to understand the Election process. I probably should have voted yesterday.
