OK -- I went up to watch just now but got bored. It's not that I don't care; I just find the whole situation so damn depressing. I don't like Obama, so if I vote for McCain, it will be because he's not Obama. And so nothing else matters. I don't like McCain either, so my vote will be about who I dislike less. Blech..

Vote for someone else and it's like not bothering to vote at all. I made that mistake way back in 1992, so this time I might just stay home so I don't have to admit to something embarrassing like voting for Perot.

Which, let me tell you, is a BIG DEAL for me - I am a serious voting advocate; I never miss a vote. Even the little local ones. I take it very seriously. So if I say I ain't voting, wow, you know?

My husband wuvs Palin. Whatever. I told him that I thought picking Palin just flushed the whole campaign down the toilet. He asked me who I thought would have been a better pick.

Um....got it! Hillary! Now THAT would've been a ticket!

Yup. I do.

I still like the idea of none-of-the-above. If none-of-the-above wins, they have to do the whole thing over again.
