Hmmm, but sometimes the Democrats run such losers it's pretty much
impossible to really vote your conscience. I hope Webb wins VA, but
c'mon, what rock did they find that guy under? You can't tell me in
all of Virginia there's not a good decent Democrat who didn't make
horribly sexist statements in the past. Sure, it's the past and
Allen said "Maccaca" just a few weeks ago, but still. This wouldn't
be such a close race if Webb hadn't mocked rape victims in the
past.
In other local races the Democrats were running people that we know
are corrupt. In my state they were running a guy who handed state
contracting deals to his friends at inflated costs. So I had to
just not vote in those. The Democrats have an advantage now because
many people are fed up with the war and the economy. But the
Democrats have to capitalize on that by running good, decent
candidates who can speak in public and garner good will. It's not
enough to run people whose only recommendation is "at least he's
not a Republican."
That said, I did have to vote Democrat in all the important races,
because of the war and all the lives lost and international good
will squandered. I just wish I didn't feel like puking after my
vote. There are some decent people out there, I just know it, the
Democrats have an obligation to find them and run them.
