See, the truth is, I won't be voting at all on November 4th. My candidate (Hilary Clinton) did not become the Democratic candidate... So I will not be voting.
Don't get me wrong. I think the Obama/Biden ticket is the best choice. I think both are strong candidates and will bring far greater good to this country than a McCain/Palin ticket... But I just can not bring my heart to cast the vote for them.
If I were in a swing state where my vote was critical, you bet your ass I would be set to vote for them November 4th. But since I live in Massachusetts, and this state always goes Democrat, I have nothing to worry about. I can be loyal to my original candidate.
