Ok, so this isn't a political blog, but it seems like this election is becoming more and more about fear than anything else, including HOPE, CHANGE, P.O.W., ALASKA, AGE, RACE, GENDER. The fear is coming from Conservatives who are too afraid to think they could ever support a Democrat and Liberals who are too afriad to admit that a Republican might not be such a bad guy. The democratic system of government has so many wondeful benefits, it is easy to look past the idea that by narrowing the choices to two, everything becomes too black and white (especially this time around).

The whole thing feels scripted and is painfully predictable. It is easy to predict what opinion you'll hear from almost any source, so why bother? Despite clever bumper stickers on both sides, nobody is a fool to vote for either candidate. What may be most important to you may not be that important to someone else.

Just vote for who you support and if you don't support either, don't vote. Yes, that is taboo to say, but it's your right to not vote just as much as it is your right to vote. Just don't complain with the outcome. Then you'll suck.
