mostly chasing Reaganism minus the southern strategy.

False choice.

I think about the qualifications and competence of the candidates as well as their policy positions.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

This the most profound political statement that has been made in my lifetime. I don't know how we went from this brilliance to people once again feeling disenfranchised, but we need to make this a fundamental understanding. That people must be involved to bring about change. So, I suggest we keep this in mind when we vote and become involved in politics or anything else for that matter.

However, I still voted for we need to go in another direction, because clearly we haven't gone far enough away from RW policies.
