Kidd’s Blog

I grew up in a home that talked politics. At times it was annoying but as I look back, it made me more aware of the issues than most of my friends and it helped me to learn how to express an opinion, which has helped me in my job a lot.

That’s why I feel like such a loser when it comes to the Presidential race. I am still hopelessly, desperately undecided. And I don’t just mean Obama and Hillary. I mean McCain too. I think they are three pretty good candidates compared to what our choices have been lately. I like Hilary because of her experience in the white house. She knows how the system works. Will she sometimes do things that are a little shady? Probably, but all in the name of getting the job done. As for Barack, I love his freshness, his spirit, and his JFK-esque persona. I think he would be the first guy to bring everyone into the process. And then there’s John McCain. I have a bias towards war heroes, especially POW’s. I don’t think McCain would have been so quick to rush into Iraq. When you’ve been to war I think you’re a lot less knee-jerk when it comes to starting one. I also like that many republicans don’t agree with his policies and he doesn’t care. I’ve found the more the “party” supports you, the worse you’re going to be as a leader.

So, interesting dilemma. Kind of like watching a game where you don’t care who wins and you’ll be happy with any outcome. Should I not vote? Or do I need to split hairs and find ONE to support? Don’t know. I’m a loser.
