From Green to Red
I don’t know how I’m keeping my head about me. I’m not voting for Kerry, but I don’t want Bush to win, so that means Kerry’s got to win. It’s all a big mess. I refuse to vote for Nader, but the Green Party Cobb campaign is telling people not to vote for Cobb in swing states. I can’t vote for Cobb now.
I asked our local Green Party stalwarts (who are pushing for Nader, not Cobb) if we had Socialist Party Candidates on the Florida ballot. The answer was “YES”! Walt Brown and Mary Alice Herbert are the Socialist Party candidates for President/Vice President. Contrary to my previous decision to vote for Cobb (and I never got an answer from them to my question) I’ve decided to vote for Brown/Herbert.
I had a conversation with a friend yesterday, someone who says he’s a socialist at heart. He’s voting for Kerry, and I respect that decision. I’m a socialist at heart too, but I can’t bring myself to vote for Kerry. I can still hope he wins. If you go by what Electoral-vote.com says, then the undecideds generally go for the challenger two to one, because most of them have already decided they don't like the current guy (else why would they be undecided?), so Kerry will probably win.
