I imagine there is a legal answer for this, maybe, though I'm not currently aware of what it might be. that does lead one to ponder… what would become of the election, should no one show up to vote in the general election, no one at all?

Even voting for someone you're not crazy about is better than voting for someone who is going to carry this bizarre war on for another century! I feel the same way about not liking any of the candidates, but I've voted many times against someone, rather than for someone, just to keep the opposite party out of office. If we don't start changing the way we take care of our affairs, we're not going to have a country in another decade. Don’t “not” vote, unless you want the Republicans in for 4 more years.

That's a good question. Vote for the one you think will do the least damage. Hmmmmmm. That’s a good question. Vote for the one you think will do the least damage.

Somehow that doesn't make sense to me. If I decide not to vote this time, it'll be my way of saying "none of the above."

It will just take away a little away a little piece of who you are if you don't use your voice and NONE of us want that. Now, as to the matter at hand....I don't know who I would vote for at this stage of the game, but I do know which <i>woman</i> I wouldn't vote for. ;) There, that narrows it down to two for you.

I, too, am really bummed about Edwards, and I don't really want Obama to win (I don't think he's experienced or qualified)... but I'm terrified that McCain will win. And I'm pretty sure that's how this whole election is going to go - voting for whomever we hate the least. It's a sad state of affairs.

I'm not totally in love with any of the candidates, but I dislike some more than others. Yep, looks like it's gonna be another "less of two evils" kind of election. Unless Hillary gets the nomination, in which case my choice will easily be McCain. :) Jim’s comment about losing our voice if we silence it is wonderfully appropriate.
