My feeling is generally that no single candidate ever meets all of my personal criteria. So you always pick the closest one then make yourself feel better about the decision (if he wins) by planning to maintain an appropriate level of activism and criticism. ;^)
Just because you voted for somebody doesn't mean you should calmly accept everything they do. In fact it's your duty to criticize where needed and let your reps know they've disappointed you. Although I too am in a state where my presidential vote does nothing useful in the long run. But there's always the other offices!

Took me about an hour. I decided I would go in at about 9:15, trying to avoid the pre-work voters hoping for a smaller line. My plan worked, in theory. The lines were relatively short....but my plan also backfired because the line was relatively OLD. I think it's great that people in their 100's are voting...I really really do. But....I'd be lying if i didn't say i'd love for voters to be broken out by age as well as district and/or name. If it took you 30 minutes and 3 helpers to vote......*sigh*..... Anyway, as for the actual vote....I felt dirty after my presidential vote, I really did. I don't see how you die-hards can cast your vote for either of these yokels and leave the booth smiling. My question is.....should I feel guilty for taking some solace in the fact that I voted in a state where my vote will have absolutely no bearing on the outcome????
