I've never had so much riding on this one election. I feel like my ability to continue living within the United States is dependent on November 4th. It isn't just that I couldn't stand living 4 more years under the intolerance, fear, and war mongering of certain Republicans, it's also that there is such a balanced and intelligent leader on the other side. There has been so much talk about what a historical race this has been, and that isn't untrue. I would be completely thrilled to see the first African-American elected to the presidential office.

I *would* be thrilled that there is a female vice-presidential candidate, but, you see, I don't vote with my ovaries. There was so much criticism of Hillary supporters - claims that they were really only voting for her because she was a woman. If that were true, you could count my vote for McCain/Palin, only I refuse to vote for that atrocious woman.
