Voted. It was an interesting decision. My first thought that since Senator Obama was going to win anyway, I could cast my vote for president on whoever I wanted with no consequence. Then I learned that in his final campaign speech he slipped in a screw-Pennsylvania (that's twice now, what does he have against us?). In the end though I figured even that wouldn't make a difference and returned to my original plan.
Thankfully, the Green Party was absent from the ballot. Though we still do have some voters that aren't all there--Mr. Nader still managed to get on.
The Constitution Party was on the ballot, though oddly enough they didn't have a single candidate on it (odd since I remember seeing a campaign sign for Mr. Baldwin). I briefly considered voting straight constitution--it was the least objectional list of candidates I've ever seen--but passed.
Mr. In looked like an interesting candidate. He was ambitious enough to run for every office AND had his own political party. The machine wouldn't let me vote straight write-in though which killed that plan.
So there was no alternatives and I had to vote as I had planned.
*Sigh*
Why can't we have one of those multi-party parliamentary governments where no one can do anything regardless of who wins?
