Voting angst
Anyone have any good ideas what one should do when voting feels like selecting which cancer to contract? I've heard "lesser of the two evils" but after doing a bit of research on the positions of the main (and third-party) candidates, I've decided it's the "lesser of the five depressings." What on earth am I to do when I feel compelled to vote but feel a bit of disgust when I consider my choices?

Personally I feel rather utilitarian with my vote. You're never going to complete agree with a candidate or party, so I go with a similar idea to the lesser of two evils: I pick the candidate that I feel like is "better" out of the candidates that have a reasonable chance at victory. So yes, this election I didn't so much vote for McCain as I did against Obama. Of course being from California, that vote didn't matter anyway...
