That is the rub, isn't it?

Given that California isn't up for play this year anyhow and my vote won't have a significant impact either way, I'm thinking about writing in John McCain and being done with it.

If this were a better world, he would have been our President on September 11th, 2001.

I meant to say I have no clue who I was going to vote for, but I added a "not" there...hmmm, I guess that's what I get for writing a blog at work! *laughs*

I'm utterly at a loss for who to vote for...I've been paying more and more attention these days, since that's all you hear about anymore. I've learned enough about Kerry and his stupid wife to know I don't want him in charge of the country...

*sigh*

What, you don't like Arnold? *laughs* ;-)

Actually, I voted for Arnold, and am relatively happy with him so far (though you should ask me in 2 years, when the budget should theoretically be in shape again - his words rang true to me, but it remains to be seen if he'll get the job done).

What I meant is that California is almost certainly going for the Democrat, so whoever I vote for will make almost no practical impact on the election.

I too am at a loss as to who to vote for. Being a social liberal and fiscal conservative who was for the Iraq war but not for the way it was handled is quite difficult.
