I heard some people at work today talking about how if Obama is elected, Blagojevich might want to nominate himself to take Obama's Senate seat (and how that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing ). If I intended to live in Illinois long-term, I'd almost want to see Obama get elected just for that. But as it stands, I think I'm going to write-in vote for not-McCain. I will work hard at voting for a governor in Wisconsin that won't veto the concealed-carry bill (again) though.

Ron Paul. The other three front-runners (hilarity, osama, and mccain) are all horrible choices for one reason and another. They are all left-wing. They all want amnesty for criminal invaders. The two dems want national healthcare funded by the taxpayers and regulated by the inept federal government. The all three want to continue the war that is going nowhere. And McCain is a neocon Trotskyite that is almost no different from the one in office now. They all want to take away our freedoms under the guise of national security, and I fear for our first and second amendment rights under any of the three.

I'm not voting due to the fact that none of the candidates have grabbed my attention

This.

I'll make up my mind about who closer to the election...No one stands out to me as particularly good, but there are plenty who stand out as particularly bad.

I haven't decided as of yet. Candidates repeating the same generic talking points over and over seems get in the way of any real discussion of issues. I'm sure all of that stuff makes great sound bites for the 6 o'clock news, but it clearly doesn't go deep enough.

I was scanning in a bookshop and I found a most hilarious book entitled:

Where's Obama?

Lol!

I'd vote for him if I was in the USA. Hillary Clinton's fat. Gotta love that book, so much great publicity!
