Just a couple more months before we find out if the U.S. will throw out its first black president in order to install its first Mormon one. So ... if the election were held today, who would get your vote? Since we essentially have a two party system I will of course give you a choice for tweedle dumb and tweedle smart. I'm also going to give you two choices for "other" so you can express your rationale, but you'll have to tell us which one you like in your post because this is my fucking poll.
Choice A: Running in the blue trunks and representing all that is good, we have Obama, the current champion. Obama successfully ran on a platform of "yes we can" in the last election but some of those who voted for him last time are now saying "oh no, you didn't". A pragmatist with a willingness to compromise, some describe him as the candidate of incremental change. I'm voting for Obama.
Choice B: Running in the red trunks and representing rapacious capitalism and the empowerment of the individual through the elimination of any social safety net, we have Romney. The original author of Massachussets' version of Obamacare when he was their governor, Mitty has turned the etch-a-sketch on that position. Running in the primary Romney positioned himself to the right of reason, but is expected to say what ever it takes to win this race in the general election. I'm voting for Romney.
Choice C: I'm voting for "other" because I resent a system that allows only two choices. I refuse to be limited to the lesser of two evils. I want what I want and I can live with who ever actually gets elected. After all, what really is the difference between a candidate who delivers so little of what was promised and one who would veto any attempt to deliver those same things?
Choice D: I'm voting for "other" because I really believe __________ is above and beyond superior to either Choice A or B, and, I believe in my heart of hearts that (s)he really will win this election. When elected my candidate will work tirelessly and successfully for full employment, free everything and, of course, world peace.
