Starting Out

So, it's a day before the election and I'm ready for it to be over. 

With all the political rhetoric, maybe its time to take it down a notch.  My preference was not an easy decision.  Neither of the parties really speak to my issues.  Both parties have taken dogmatic positions with which I disagree.  In a representative government, citizens have the right to express their preferences.  We can do this in two ways:  by voting or abstaining.  You don't absolve yourself from your responsibility to choose by not voting; you are, in effect, choosing "none of the above."  

I choose to vote.  Living in Delaware, the presidential result is quite clear:  Obama will win Delaware.  Most of the down ballot races (at least in my district) are also relatively certain.  But, I choose to vote (depending on the race) to show support for certain policies and candidates, even if they lose.

What will the local (and national) media do after this is over?  I guess we will get all the car ads that the political ads displaced in the last few months.
