Check in if you now feel political ennui

I just can't summon up giving a fuck between Obama and Hillary. Meh, I'll vote for which ever one makes it to the end. I'm sure as hell not motivated to go out into the cold to wait in line to vote in the primary for either of them. Fuck it if it makes me unpatriotic. I'm so fucking sick of my preferred candidate not being in the race by the time we have the primary in WI. I cannot recall ever voting in the primary for my first choice and I think it fucking sucks.

1. I felt the same way after Dean bowed out in 04

I feel the same way now but once the primaries were over I felt much more strongly for Kerry. I know that this feeling will pass. It does suck because our primary was moved up to Tuesday and 5 days before my guy calls it quits. I thought that this vote would mean something, but alas, no

2. Present and accounted for.

You know, it may be purely symbolic, but you can write in Edwards. I'm voting for Dodd.

3. I've been thinking...

If I support Clinton, I'm a racist.

If I support Obama, I'm a misogynist.

I wish Carol Moseley Braun were running. :(

5. I think it would be interesting if we could vote for our first and second choice

before the media anoints or disqualifies anyone. We didn't even get to see the first debates because we don't have cable TV. I still don't understand why the primary shouldn't be on one day for all states.
