I usually put a lot of effort into voting. There are 30+ seats on the ballot here. I was planning on spending a few hours this weekend looking at all of the candidates for each seat and writing down my choices... I think there is a very very small percentage of the population who actually do this.

I have to say, I'm so fucking sick of the bullshit that is streaming out of the right wing spin machine that I'm thinking of showing up and voting a straight democratic ticket. I know its not really smart. But I've had it.

I want the level of the debate raised.
