Well, I managed to decide before I hit the voting booth in about an hour. It's really quite insignificant whether I vote for Obama or cast my personal little protest vote.
But I'm going to vote for Barack Obama.
And I'm going to do that .... for Jen.
On a morning when it stings so much that two friends of mine are voting FOR Proposition H8, I find it appropriate to let the deciding factor for my undecided vote be ... to support a good friend.
Jen's quest to see Obama elected president has been one of the most inspiring runs of political optimism I've witnessed. If it's a toss-up for me, I don't see any good reason why I shouldn't come down on HER side.
Love ya, Jen.
(And in truth I feel Obama will make a darshgone good president of these here united states).
