people like Yuri, who cannot vote, but I'm more than likely not voting for Obama.
(I should emphasize that I won't fill out my ballot until Tuesday, so I can be persuaded for the next 40 hours... I'll be unavailable on Tuesday starting at 6am due to my duties as a polling inspector in Oakland, CA.)
I appear to be alone amongst my peers in having not been persuaded by the various arguments that Obama and his supporters make about his fitness to serve. I think Obama is paper-thin and overly idealistic. I finally came to a realization that voting for Obama because of Clinton's electability concerns is overly strategizing. I also had to convince myself that my desire to vote for Clinton had nothing to do with going against the almost unanimous voices of support from my peers for Obama. When it all comes down to it, if I ask myself sincerely who I think would make a better president, I resoundingly answer myself with the word, "Clinton".
And, frankly, I I've ceased to give a rat's ass if you'd vote for McCain over Clinton in November. That's your problem.
