You know what? I'm changing my mind. When I get home tonight, I'm voting for Capuano. I thought more about experience vs. ideals, and proven record vs. nebulous "hope." Some of my friends made good points -- like
martini_corona's that Khazei should start smaller if he really wants to get into elected office.
And then I read
this story, which sealed the deal. (Read down to
lil_brown_bat's comment for more awesomeness.) This is a man who works hard for his constituents, and speaks up honestly for what he believes in. Moreover, this is a man who's willing to change his mind when the evidence calls for it. Even more than genuine passion, we need that in Congress.
