I assumed too much... you didn't get the point. You are voting not on your principles but on which way you think your neighbors will vote. That makes you a political lemming.
Did you vote for Perot and help us end up with Clinton?? I am sure glad that so many people stood by their principles there. I hope they felt really fuzzy inside for 8 years. I am going to vote the direction that is best for me. How would voting for McClintock (who I wish was winning) and taking away a vote from someone who is ahead of Bustamante, going to make my life better?
