I will not vote in the general election.
At great personal sacrifice I will stop the trof Democratic Jinx.
The last politician I voted for who won was Bill Clinton.

In 2000 I gave money to, worked, and voted for Gore.
He lost.

In 2002 I was still very stung by W's bogus 'win' in Florida.
I went a short distance across the AL-FL border to work for whoever ran against Jeb in 2002.
He lost.

In 2004, I gave money to, worked, and voted for Kerry.
He lost.

In 2006 I gave money to, worked, and voted for Lucy Baxley, Democratic candidate for governor.
Prior to the election she had a stroke.
That was pretty much the end of that campaign.
She lost.

So...to give us any kind of chance at all in November, I'll just stay home.
It's the least I can do.
;-)
