1 year and 7 months before election. [View all]

1 year, 7 months. Are you kidding me? Am I in the twilight zone?

Edited to make this a little more clear.

When people started to announce candidacy for president here recently I wanted to start bashing my head against my desk. Edit here:
Stop the sniping, focus on issues and what we need to know so we can make informed choices. No ones head needs to explode.

I want an election, not a reality show. Edit here: It's an election, for gods sake. Not jersey shore. Hey Media- Calm the flip down.

I want an Alan Grayson or an Elizabeth Warren, I want a person who isn't afraid to say what they believe and stand by it instead of pandering to get nominated- then pandering again to get the election. Edit here: I really hope someone else comes forward as a good and valid choice.

I want to feel good about my vote, not hold my nose.

Don't get me wrong, I WILL vote for HC if I have no other choice. I won't let my vote go to any form of crackpot from the right. I won't abstain from voting in some sort of protest.

(sighs)

Bleh.
