Election musings and poll

[owlmoose]

So John Edwards dropped out. Since I had finally settled on him, and was actually looking forward to casting a vote that mattered for a candidate I liked, this throws me into a bit of disarray.


[Poll #1130367]

First of all, I should point out that my selection of McCain for the last "who's likely to be elected" question is *not* due to support. It's due to pessimism. I dearly hope I'm wrong. Unless someone like Romney or Huckabee. *shudder*

My opinion is likely to change as we approach November. Which means, of course, that you'll have to have a similar poll around October or thereabouts. :-)

Of course. ;) I'm sure more polls will be forthcoming....

*cough* I keep forgetting complete sentences. It was prolly obvious, but I meant to shudder at the thought of Romney or Huckabee winning.

Anyhow, I agree with what bottle_of_shine said earlier. Americans will have the choice to make a big decision, in a way, to face something potentially ugly within ourselves, within our culture.

I don't think we aren't brave enough. Again, if I'm wrong, I'll...uhmmm... buy you a coffee or tea, owlmoose. :-)

Damn it: don't think we ARE brave, not aren't.

I wish I could inline edit already-posted comments. Grrr. /me curses at LJ interface...

I'll hold you to that. ;) And if you're right, I'll buy us both some wine. (A bottle. Apiece. Since I think we'll probably need it.)
