Impartial to the politics?

I really wish I was more informed on politics. I mean I guess it’s not entirely accurate to say I am completely clueless because I guess I do know a little, maybe even enough to get by only being seventeen and all, but I definitely don’t know enough to win a heated argument. My water polo coach, Kirk, has been trying to pick at me all season, all out of fun of course. He is quite conservative and I guess I come off as rather…well, liberal. Its no ones fault but my own really. There are dozens of political affiliated magazines around my house, newspapers, websites…parents. But I still find my self still quite clueless. Its not that I don’t care… because I do. I get really envious of people my age talking about a certain proposition or candidates platform with the most confident and accurate depiction. Similar to how I am just obviously not a natural artist (you should really see my Art 1-2 portfolio), I am just not naturally politically informed. McCain and Obama both seem to have these grand ideas of “change”, some of which I am even slowly beginning to understand. I really hope that whoever does end up winning will follow through with their so called “change.” Coach Kirk did say something a while back that I do agree with, “They're not running for God, they're running for president.” Boy is he right.
