I feel unclean because I forced myself to vote for this lunatic, convinced that the alternative (Obama) was worse. Not so sure of that, now.
You know, I’ll admit, I used to like McCain. Oh, thats right, the McCain of 2000. Of course my own set of thinking has changed since then. Oh I will admit when I am wrong.
I was going to vote for the Libertarian (Barr) as a protest, but it looked like Obama was going to win this district (we split our electoral votes) and he ultimately did. So, I voted for McCain. A large part of me said it was better if Obama won because we needed a clear illustration of liberalism. Pres. Bush dragged down the view of conservatism and ruined it, and McCain was going to be much worse. Still, the expression "You can't win by losing" made me vote McCain. When Obama won, I felt some relief, though. We really need to see Carter II so that it won't happen again for 30+ years. God only knows how much damage the man will do in the meanwhile.
