Ha, I didn't realize your question was serious.  I could have answered it, from that one time I went sailing at camp.

I capsized, by the way, but you should vote for me regardless.

as he continues to be news in the election cycle (much to his distaste), it doesn't seem too outrageous to point folks to a statement of support for one of my committee-persons, the beautifully humane bill ayers
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Received my absentee ballot in the mail today. Still very undecided, and very disappointed about the absence of Ron Paul's name on it.

If you're undecided at this point, just flip a coin.

Vote for Ralph. At least he cares about you.

He sounds like an ass, judging by his Wikipedia page.  Good to see he grew up, but that doesn't excuse his past.. particularly since he seems to have somehow gotten off scot free.

That's what i did for the primary - but they were in fact two sides of the same coin.  Wouldn't feel right doing that in a general.  I always wondered why there is this idea that undecided voters are idiots who probably shouldn't be voting in the first place.  I have to assume its propagated by our two illustrious parties.
