I'm still a closet non-voter

At the risk of raising mass wrath I have to admit that this election is shaping up to be yet another where I just don't feel like I can vote for any candidate.

At a recent bfast in chgo, several old friends admitted that while they hated mccain's social policies like being pro life (anit choice), they would have to vote republican to save the economy.

While universal healthcare sounds like an awesome concept for our country to head towards, it seems odd to make that a central selling point for both hilary and obama at a time when we face historical financial meltdowns aned the potential for a serious depression on the level of what japan faced for the past 20 yrs.

Does anyone else have twilight zone feelings when listening to candidates debating everything other than saving the economy? Balanced budgets, Healthcare, Raising taxes. What do any of these have to do with making the us economy strong. If they were talkiing about balancing the budget through reduced govt spending I might start to perk up.

I have to admit I haven't bothered to listen to mccain much lately but have always viewed him as a reformer.

I can't vote for him either though as I've met him and found him to be a serious hot head and not totally stable. Didn't seem like the guy you want manning the big red button.

A friend recently handed me an awesome button that read, "republicans for hillary" with the implication that only barack could win.
