Seriously, I can’t be the only one that is less than thrilled to have a ballot where the options are McCain and Obama? I know in theory there are people out there that think voting for one or the other is necessary to save the country, but amongst people I know that is far from the prevailing attitude. Noone I know is pulling the lever for either Obama or McCain because they are really excited about either one. I know that some people in Hollywood and the media are really excited about Obama, but out here ‘on the street’ as it where the prevailing attitude is disgust. I know a few people holding their nose to vote for McCain because they are disgusted at the possibility of Obama, and I know some people voting for Obama because they are disgusted at the thought of 4 more years of Republican presidency. But actually excited about voting? No. I ain’t seeing any of that. I’m seeing alot of gloom. I’m hearing alot of people talking about voting for third party candidates just out of protest. I’m hearing alot of angst.
Excitement? What kinda world do you have to live in to be excited about the prospect of four years of either of these idiots? Who really believes that a McCain presidency would be anything other than just marginally less bad than an Obama presidency? Is there anyone here that really believes Obama is going to ‘change the world’ for the better? Is anyone outside of a few impressionable teenagers and dumb actors actually buying the whole ‘hope and change’ rhetoric? I mean, I figured a year ago that the Dems could run their mascot against Jesus Christ and win this election (of course I thought that 4 years ago, and then they picked Kerry), but is Obama’s support really heavily based on anything other than just ‘He’s not a Republican’?
