Election -- I'm not voting

That's right, the other party is getting my vote this year...right, that's what happens when you don't vote, it's a vote for the other party. Well this year they can have it, I'm not sure who they is...maybe it's the republicans, or it's the democrats, maybe I just don't care. I could have "wasted" my vote on the independent party, but instead, I decided to abstain. It's my written protest...well this is my written protest, the not voting is my silent protest, or something like that.

Anyway, why didn't I vote? I didn't vote, because the candidates don't seem that good. I'm tired of voting for mediocrity, but more importantly, I'm tired of voting for drama! Mudslingling seems to have been the wave of the elections in Maryland, or at least the 2 big ones (Senate and Governor)...There's a pretty boy in Baltimore, and a faked smiled toupee man in Annapolis.

Further, I'm tired of getting phone calls from the O'Malley Camp, and others from the Steele camp, and my mailbox is full of junk, and I think I'm missing the mail that's useful, because it's buried in all of the glossy 8x10 flyers that tell me why the other guy/gal stinks, and that they are going to Keep Elkridge, Elkridge. What does that mean? What is Elkridge, that it should stay that way???

And the "Greatest Senator in the History of America" Edward Kennedy has just been re-elected, as per John (Connelly) Kerry...and he's stumping for Senator Obama already...okay, so the cynicism is over the top...

So my hope is that voter turnout is low this year, but my knowledge is that it's probably not, because drama brings people to the polls...put out the glossy's cuz that buys votes, and if you buy the votes, you can help the people that need it once you get there...yep!
