2nd best choices are the best choices

If you are like me, then in most elections you don't have a perfect candidate as a choice -- you have a choice between someone who is pretty good and someone who is so-so or somewhat bad. I'm glad it is that way. I don't have the perfect candidate as a choice but I also don't have the worst possible candidate as a choice. When someone wins that I don't want to win, I can mostly live with that -- they usually do some good also. (This does not dimish the fact that many unborn babies can't "live with" certain people in power.)

Don't get too discouraged with your choice of candidates -- choose the one who you believe is best and be thankful that you don't have to choose between two completely evil canidates.

Please remember to research the candidates and other ballot questions and then go and vote on Tues! If you don't vote then you don't have a right to complain about what the elected officials decide. If you really don't think either candidate is worth your vote then at least find some name to write in (even if it is your own name) to show that you value that right to vote.
