Today, in Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters in
This is pretty shocking because I’ve never heard of an incident quite like this before. It’s strange to think that even the offices of our presidents-to-be are not free from the risk of something dramatic and potentially dangerous, like this incident. It made me wonder what the security around our presidential candidates was like now and how this incident would change it. This article gave me the answers to some of those questions [http://www.newsweek.com/id/73188/page/1]. In this interview with J. J. Funk, Funk said that this incident necessarily means that security will be or needs to be stepped up because this kind of incident was mostly a personal issue by a man who used Hillary’s absence and a public place to make a big statement and get some attention without directly endangering a political figure.

Yikes. Yeah, the upcoming election seems to be extremely controversial. There are a lot of candidates that could still end up in the major running and you'd think from the talk that the elections are a lot sooner than they really are. (Next November, almost a year for the real presidential one!)
What it makes me wonder: "is it always like this?" Considering how young we are, we haven't been through too many major elections. We were probably in elementary school during Bush's first election, and seriously, if you are in elementary school and thinking very critically about politics, something's strange there.
I don't remember there being nearly as much controversy at the last election, it was mainly just Kerry vs Bush as far as I thought. Perhaps we hear more now because we're older and pay more attention, but perhaps not. This is a very important election coming up after all....
