Personally, I don't understand why anyone would take Ralph Nader seriously, much less vote for him, yet I know plenty of perfectly nice, sane, intelligent, respectable people who did just that. Takes all types, my friend.

That's the way I see things.
I didn't want Bush to win, but Kerry provided nothing either.
I tend to vote more conservative than most people in the room and I see no solid options this year. From my view, there's McCain who is a rep but has quite the history of voting dem. There's Hillary who seems to push socialism with health care plans that I would never choose and there is Obama. He's about change. I'm not positive he knows what he wants to change or how he's going to do it but he's winning an election based on the fact the America wants it. Who needs details when you have rhetoric?
I don't care what color his skin is or how well he claims he understands me and isn't that different than me (*cough* Bullshit *cough*) I still want to know how he'll stand on issues before voting for him. I want to know what choices he'll make. I don't think Clinton is a great choice at all. I've despised her for years in fact, but at least I know what I'm getting with her.
Perhaps they'll both get shot before the election and someone competent will rise to the challenge!
...still torn over my terrible options...
