Super Tuesday

So, tomorrow is voting day here in New York. And as I mentioned to one of my friends this evening, I have never — in my entire life of nearly 50 years — been so apathetic about voting. And that distresses me.

Just before sitting down to write this, I was visiting uuMomma’s site. She excited and hopeful, and wishes she could be voting tomorrow too. Truth be told, I’m a bit jealous of the enthusiasm.

I’m pretty sure I’ve taken every quiz out here on the internet about who my candidate is. It’s all very consistent… either Dennis Kucinich or Mike Gravel. But look at the way the pollsters have decided the election for us… we have a choice between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t completely hate either one of them. Hillary is smart… maybe too smart for her own good. Barack is… well, hope-full. But neither one really grabs me, you know?

Not that Kucinich or Gravel do, either, but at least they match up better with the issues that are important to ME. And neither of them stands a snowball’s chance in hell. Sigh.

Oh… what about the Republicans, you say? Well, let’s just say I’m an Irish person from Chicago and leave it at that, shall we? Hey! How about Jane Byrne for president!

And now that I’ve had my little talking to here, I’ll go vote my conscience tomorrow. And I’ll be thinking about uuMomma when I go.
