I like Candidate “X”. Candidate “Y” is a scumbag.
Party “Y” hates Americans and loves bad things. But I really think Party “X” loves the working man, and truly has my best interests at heart.
(Seriously...voting is a suckers bet. Your vote/letter DOES NOT make a difference. Donate bribe monies to ALPA and hope for the best. Ain’t nobody gonna’ save you but yourself).

Aficionado’s of history who know something about The English Civil War have a much better understanding of truly foundational American politics than most.
“Albion’s Seed” is a fascinating book on this. This cliff notes version is “American Nations, A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America” is excellent. The past, as they say, is prologue. The New England puritans, cast offs/outs from the English civil wars are still with us...and they are very, very much in charge. (Think...Harvard, Princeton).
But I digress. Go Team X!!!

It would be interesting to see if the results of the November election would be any different than if we had the election today. Is there really that many people undecided? I havent met anyone that is undecided these days.
