Thanks Johnny! I mean, it IS going to be along 8 months! I've also decided to follow my own advice, and ignore anyone who tells me how I MUST vote. Elections bring out the zealots, the holier-than-thou, the died in the wool party members--I'm not too keen on any of them.

Because there are so many zealots out there for either Bush or Kerry, I've decided to avoid them all, and tune out now that the primaries are over. People are already pretty entrenched in their positions, which means no one is listening to anyone, and if you don't mouth the party line, they shout you down anyway.

So why bother?
