Shopped, but I still love it.

This election is pretty cut and dry. If you favor yourself a Democrat, you should vote for Obama, and if you favor yourself a Republican you should vote for McCain.

Debates, rhetoric and politicking are just silly to me, but then I'm probably in the minority of Americans that actually votes based on my stance on issues, and not just who's more well-spoken, who's kid is popping out the least illegitimate children, etc... The media circus is usually entertaining, but that's about it.
