America was never supposed to be a party system, much less one where each party refuses to admit that the other party's candidate might have a good point or two. The whole election process annoys me to no end and seems to go on forever.

Of course you should feel free to state your position in your blog. Otherwise it's some kind of audience-driven safe zone. Good for you!

I usually find myself having to vote against someone rather than for someone, which is very disheartening. I don't like either candidate much (I was a Hillary supporter), but I feel compelled to vote against McCain because of some of the big non-economic portions of his platform. And he deserves a knock on the head for using the term "pro-abortion" in the debate, since there is probably no one in the world who is "pro-abortion" and he just says it to rile people up.
