I'm torn, as usual, whether to use my vote for good or for evil in a primary. Do I go in and vote for who I want to win and lead us or do I go in and declare for the other party so that I can attempt to soften the competition up by voting for their least attractive candidate.
I'm one of those delusional Americans who believes that my vote does count, if I opt to use it.
The choices are not so black and white this time around and while the temptation is there to vote for someone just so that you could guarantee professional hair care for at least the next four years... there's the whole clever annexing of the 'hope' thing as your own unique idea that deserves kudos... McCain, come on -how many more shots does this guy have in him and you have to admit he was torpedoed by bushes squad the last time he was this hopeful. Romney - no idea he was Mormon before he started running... then again, before he started running he could have been a football player for all I knew..
It's a tough call. But it is also a call I am forced to make if I want to leave work for a while this morning...
