After months of inner turmoil, plagued by doubt, I cast my vote this morning...and felt, immediately upon leaving the booth, CHEAP. Dirty. As though I had just sold my soul. Somehow I really suspect democracy was not meant to feel this way...
It was a "lesser of two evils kind of thing" for me as well; being in a swing state, I just couldn't bring myself to cast any kind of vote that might help get Bush elected (his particular brand of evil scares me more than The Other Guy). And so: as much as I dread to reveal this, I have just irrevocably commited my vote to...Al Gore.
There, I've admitted it! I'm going to be working this out in therapy for years, I just know it....
