I'm ready for a shot at not feeling slightly queasy after my straight-ticket vote

Straight-ticket vote? Really? I think that might make me queasy on principle, even if it's what I do in practice much of the time.

I know, I know, fighting words. But I am curious about this. Haven't you ever found that a Green, Independent, or (gasp) Republican candidate was actually better for the job than the Democrat on the ballot? I have two words for you: Cruz Bustamante.

Of course. As you probably remember, I voted for the Republican mayoral candidate of Pittsburgh (I even forget his name, but he was running on a racial- and economic-justice platform when both of the Democratic candidates were race- and class-baiting). Sadly, I did not pay enough attention to the Bustamante election in time, and so I accidentally voted for that corrupt bag of shit when I should have voted for the upstanding Republican.

I usually vote a straight ticket, though, and always in Presidential elections unless either the elections system or the GOP changes drastically.

I'm still slow to warm to Obama, as he talks a good talk and is quite charismatic but his voting record ain't much different than Hillary's. I also think Hillary can fight with the republicans in a way that Obama may not be able to, yet. Still, I'd be overjoyed if either of them won, and I'm excited about this coming election. Go both! Go either! Whoot!
