I’m slowly leafing through the billions of candidates running next year … I swore to myself after failing to vote in 2004 that I would vote next time (or forever renounce my place in this country). Although it’s somewhat of a moot point to read up extensively, since it’ll boil down to 1 Dem and 1 Republican again (and I know that I would vote along party lines no matter what), I still think that I should keep myself informed. There are lots of interesting personalities and, as many articles have pointed out, quite a lot of diversity. While popular coverage tends to focus on statements of platform and such, I’m more interested in digging up the candidates’ performance in Congress / as governor / etc. There are a lot of great catch-line platforms already, but can they really deliver? Mm .. I refuse to be cynical just yet ..
Kweh.
