Voting

[zonewombat]

OK, I just registered to vote in Virginia.  This will hose my taxes, but instead of voting absentee in a state that will go blue anyway, I have a chance to make a difference with my vote.

Of course, I have no idea who I'm going to vote FOR.  Whoever gets elected will inheirit a big old steaming bag of shit, courtesy the Shrub, so in a way I feel like another Republican should have to deal with that.  But I can't face 4 more years of Republican appointments, let alone everything else.  So which of the Democrats do I saddle with the cleanup?  I'm leaning toward Obama, but minorities in America have been handed bags of shit for centuries and it might be nice to break with tradition.

And there's no way I'm voting for Hillary.  It's bad enough selecting a president from a wide open field of two candidates; let's not make it a wide open field of two families.

perzactly wrt the steaming bag, but I for one would like to know a little bit more about what the contents are. I think we're more likely to get a real assessment of what's in the bag if the Dems win. Plus, so. tired. of. the. appointments. And the chest-pounding self-righteousness (that is supposed to cover up the sound of toe-tapping, I guess). Not that the Dems are angels, by any means, but another 4 years will give all that is self-righteous a lot more room to play.
