Forgive me for being pessimistic about the election, but here's the way that I see it:

  • If I vote for Barak Obama, I'm making a terrible choice.
  • If I vote for John McCain, I'm making a terrible choice.
  • If I vote for a third-party candidate and virtually throw away my vote, I'm making a terrible choice.
  • If I don't vote at all, I'm making a terrible choice.1

So, essentially, I have to make whatever terrible choice that I can live with or the terrible choice that's the least painful. I still haven't registered to vote, and I still have an hour left to register.

I've made my terrible choice. I'm going to bed.

  1. Of course, in the minds of some people, if I don't vote, I give up my right to complain. Then again, if I vote simply so that I can complain, that would be dumb.

Quote to ponder: “If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.”

Indeed Dan - voting is all about choosing the lesser of two (or more) evils.

I whole-heartedly agree. Which is why I didn't do early voting today like planned.
