Seriously. You are in the same place with millions who voted for Obama. It is up to him and his supporters to convince you that he will finally do something right. The only argument they are offering now is that if you stay home, some bogey man (or woman) will win.

I'm having to decide the same thing after over forty years of campaigning, caucusing, voting straight Democratic. I don't want more republican government, but we're getting plenty of that now. I have to wonder if the senile geezer and the hill-billy tart had won how would it be different. I know that if the geezer were president and he tried to gut public education, take down unions, and cut SS this board and the rest of the Democratic party would be screaming and fighting. Maybe that's all we want. We want our representatives to scream and fight for us. It aint happening right now.
