I've seen this comment by David Sedaris about undecided voters many places, and I feel it bears repeating:

“I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

I really hope as many people as possible get out and vote, but now coming down to it I really hope those people are voting for Obama. Voting for jobs, voting for the little people, voting to get off of the rest of the world's SHIT LIST...on and on and on. Voting for someone who doesn't call Asians "gooks." Voting for someone who treats his wife as his equal, not his trophy. Voting for someone who is SMART and got to where he is by himself. Anyway don't listen to me, realize for yourselves that we don't need another Bush. Get the facts yourself, don't listen to Joe the Plumber talk about foreign policy. You can read, I assume. Folks say the candidates aren't hugely different, but I think they are. I know I feel safer in a country run by someone who will treat leaders of other countries with respect, so maybe just MAYBE we can get some respect around the world. I would LOVE to revisit Western Europe and not be insulted for being American. We ought to be making allies of other countries, not blowing them to kingdom come. This is not a vote for liberalism, this is a vote for our future. In the future, I want a job, and I want to know the rest of the world isn't going to turn against us. Go get the facts for yourself, they're all over the place.

I love that there are still people out there that can't bring themselves to put a black man into the White House, for that very reason. COME ON!!!!!!

I'm sick to my stomach to think that the whole nation might have to answer to someone like John Mccain. Or Sarah Palin. Good fucking god what a mess.

And another thing -- all you passionate people who praise Obama and want him to win, and are eligible voters, you need to vote if there's any way. He isn't going to become President through your hoping and praying. It doesn't impress me that you support him but aren't even going to bother to vote.

VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
