I think the whole electoral college system is broken with it's focus on swing states where a president can be elected by taking 12 or 13 states disregarding the rest. I also don't care for how the system creates a bias against any third parties.

Finally, the biggest reason I won't cast a vote for the president is that both candidates are the same political servants pandering to donors and special interests. They are both truth averse towards the American people because they are cowards who can't rock the boat of the team they are on, which by the way folks, is the same team, and the losers are the American people.

Arent you all sick and Fukkin tired of the "lesser of two evils" routine we are presented with every 4 years, where we have to vote for a disgraceful candidate because the other guy is perceived as worse??


Half the population does not vote now. One more won't be missed. A lot of dissappointed 08 voters are going to stay home too.
Depressing the GOP vote is not going to work. Turnout will be massive. Obama will likely win Washington by about 17% if the poll is close. No details, since there is no active polling going on in most blue states.

As for the Gridlock. It could be worse. But the senate will only get a budget by sending Harry Reid to the bleachers. Maria is just support for Reid and which dedicated to slashing the defense budget, because republican wont raise taxes on people over 250,000 and it wont cut the deficit AT ALL. We would save 2 billion dollars every year, by cutting off Eqypt.

If you remember back before gregoire, we did not have a favorable commission. Now we do. I know for a fact, McKenna is in the sports camp. There is a lot of gas tax money,state employee wages and seafood money, going to the other guy. I looked up the pdc.
