Michael. The reason a vote for Obama is necessary is that once into office, we can start pressuring him and his fellow Dems to rediscover what makes a Dem. a Dem. They are merely the first step in a long road to bring America back to where it needs to be; think of Obama as a transitional figure leading to our true progressive future. McCain-Palin is simply abhorrent. Who knows, it may be too late to make the changes necessary to save us from economic ruin no matter who our next President is and such ruin may be the only thing keeping America from pursuing world domination through military might; equally important as economic salvation is the restoration of an America that uses diplomacy and moral suasion to advance it's ideals and rejects all notions of exceptionalism. It's a long road and at 61, I doubt I'll see its fruition but we have to start somewhere. For all you Bush supporters, those of you who insanely want to keep this 62 year old frat boy from ever accepting responsibility for his greed, incompetence and evil, maybe you're right, maybe God did want him to become President, but if so it was to see another arrogant, ignorant empire bite the dust. There's some deep shit on the road ahead, so get some real good boots.

Now, maybe, people will have a better understanding of "voting for the lesser of evils." Both McCain and Obama are tied up in this mess to varying degrees. Why then is my vote for Nader a "waste" as so many people call it? I'm voting on principal and they're voting for evil!
