[quote=Anonymous]I agree with those who urge you to vote.  None of us can predict the future, so it's a bit of a crap shoot for all of us.  I'd say that a lot of people, probably including me, vote in a knee-jerk way.  As a Virginia voter, your vote can actually make a difference, and as someone who is taking a serious look at the candidates and the issues, you are probably more likely than most to make a reasonable decision.

As one who is not totally happy with Obama, I tend to forgive him somewhat on grounds that the President is limited in his choices, by the inertia of governmental organism itself, by the Congress, and by the fact that he represents all of us.  Keep in mind what the President can truly affect, and among those things, try to separate out those where we actually know enough to judge what is the right choice (for me, that pretty much excludes the economy, which nobody really understands), and make your decision based on what remains, such as the Supreme Court appointments and a perhaps a few other things (none of which I can think of offhand).

One other thing.  Although I will probably vote for Obama (unless, as a DC voter, I decide to make a "statement"), I don't think you should place too much weight on the fact that the only pro-Romney comments so far have been asinine; they all come from the same air-head.  There are thoughtful conservatives on DCUM, and perhaps you'll hear from some of them.[/quote]
