Undecided Voter – Why I Don’t Like Each Presidential Candidate
Some presidential elections I have someone I want to vote for. More often, I’m voting against someone. If neither candidate in this race can do something that radically changes my opinion, I likely won’t make a presidential pick this cycle, and here’s why: Continue reading
Whoa, Who Knew You Cared!?

The recent series of ads that the McCain campaign has launched against Obama’s “celebrity” isn’t one of them.
