This is the 5th presidential election in which I have been a voter. I have yet to cast a vote for the person who won the presidential election (and if you think that means you know for whom I voted each time, you are probably wrong). I had been planning to vote for Obama, but lately I've been starting to think that I don't want my presidential-vote-jinx to rub off on Obama, so maybe I better vote for McCain. I vote in true blue Maryland, so my vote doesn't amount to anything anyway. What do you think?

I had similar thoughts about OU-Texas and now I wish I'd gone with my instincts. We've lost every time I've gone, and I considered skipping out to prevent certain defeat. But I went, and sure enough we blew it. My mom has forbidden me from ever attending again.

My concern for the election is that the younger Obama supporters will become so complacent (falsely assuming that an Obama win is assured) that they won't bother to show up.

I don't think it is wise for us, the citizens of the world, to trust just one person with this type of power.

Exactly. All this time I've been watching you bicker back and forth, while I hold the key to the outcome. I vote for losers.
