Reflections on Election

Okay, I feel the need to get this out now, because if I don't, way into the future my enemies will discover this tidbit about my life and raise it up as an example of my hypocraisy or evilness or whatever (By the way, I don't really believe I have enemies, I'm not crazy, just silly). *Deep breath* I didn't vote this year! Whew, glad to get that off my chest.

In order to better understand why I didn't vote, you might want to refer back my post about the excellent level of service at the RMV. You may think me cowardly, but I have yet to go back and try again to get my license, and at the same time, register to vote.

Now, I knew that the elections were coming up, and that I really ought to get around to getting registered so I could do my civic duty in my new town, but I really didn't care. This may sound like an excuse, but I didn't feel qualified to vote for governor, because I hadn't lived under the previous one, so don't really know her record of service, and don't really know what issues would affect my community most. Plus, I am far more interested in national politics than local ones, and Taylor ended up being the one to follow the governor's election.

I know, I know. The election was for the Senate and the House as well, but come on, do you really think Ted Kennedy and John Kerry wouldn't win? I didn't even see either one attempt to campaign.

I wasn't very happy the Democrats took the House and nearly took the Senate. But now they have a chance to do whatever it is they're gonna do (they are so vague on the whole national security thing. All I've heard is "We'll do it better than Bush!") and at work I'll finally be on offense instead of defense. Now I can be the one to complain about the eneptness of the current Congress! So you see, good can come from all things.
