Fellow blogger Kenton Ngo has brought to my attention that one of my favorite people, John Edwards, is still on the ballot in West Virginia. So this contest is to see how many votes he gets in the upcoming primary, without going over. Whoever wins gets…winning.
My guess is 2. I’m quite the pessimist.
I have a bit of a dilemma. I’m a John Edwards fan, and even voted for him in the VA primary. Obama and Clinton both drive me crazy for their own respective reasons, and it’ll be a cold day in hell when I vote for insane John McCain. I like Nader, but think he may be hurting his causes more than helping them by running, and I throw away my vote far too often in elections for my liking. To the chagrin of many of my friends, he is probably who I would end up voting for if the election were today. I think Obama and Clinton would both do decent jobs–I just can’t bring myself to vote for candidates that I feel are hypocrites–and I feel at times that Obama is a greater hypocrite than Clinton (because she seems to not care about the things she does that are corrupt, while he seems to make more of an attempt to mask them). So I’m trying to think of what I would do in the general election–the democratic candidate, or someone else? Perhaps for once in my adult life, I will not vote at all, due to what I feel is a lack of a real choice.
