8 days until I have to throw the lever...
and I still have no clue what I'm going to do in the voting booth.
The only thing I'm sure of is "Not Romney." Okay, and "Not Ron Paul." Other than that, I'm still twisting in the wind. And those two mantras are not very useful when one is voting in the Democratic primary.
Hillary: I don't trust her newly moderate stand--she's always been too left of center for this centrist Dem.
Obama: He's charismatic, well-spoken, adept at the persona thing. Don't trust him.
Edwards: Not electable, but of them all the only one whose positions I think are mature--which of course makes them unpopular.
Casting a vote for anyone else would be throwing my vote away. Wouldn't even budge the front-runners in a responsible direction.
Nothing to hate. Nothing to love.
I miss having a candidate I believed in. Yup, Election 2008: The Year of Living Lamely.
