Politics, the good and the bad (not yet ugly)

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED!!

I just got to work (late, I'm dragging today) and checked the news headlines as I always do. John Edwards is dropping out! I don't get to vote for him Tuesday! What am I going to do?! I figured it would come after Tuesday, because really, he doesn't stand a chance. But I so looked forward to voting for him anyway. And now, my only choice on Tuesday is Obama. And the man has no policy. I might consider voting for McCain, but as an undeclared voter I can't do that in California. It's back to the drawing board.

In good news, Australia is set to apologize to Aborigines, as soon as Kevin Rudd's new administration takes office on Feb. 13. I am so proud of Australia! The new government over there certainly looks set to do new and good things. Hopefully this time next year the people will be saying the same things about the United States.

Update Thanks to erinya who posted links to the candidates voting records on abortion issues, I will NOT be voting for McCain. His record is atrocious. Plus, he's been playing the I'm More Conservative Than You Game lately. I always thought he was above that.

It's Obama or bust. Sigh.

Yes, you can still vote for Edwards!

All those absentee ballots already cast for him and all the votes he receives Tuesday still count toward delegates. (I confirmed this with an Actual Democratic Grassroots Leader.)
