16. Strange as it may sound, I want my vote to matter.
By that I mean, I want to cast my vote for someone who I think will do a good job of running the country or in this case, post-Bush restore the country. Voting for someone only because I think they can win doesn't qualify as a vote that counts.

I will never understand why Edwards dropped out. I don't think Obama has what it takes and I don't think either Obama or Clinton will be able to buck the people who are behind the scenes pulling strings. I keep wondering how or even if we're going to be able to survive the unbridled greed the oil companies are so proudly showing us as they wipe us out financially. The media talks about the lousy CEOs that we have running the companies but they call them bad because of stock options, not because they made bad decisions.

I just don't know.
