I’m fired up about this election because—for the first time ever—I am an undecided voter. Not that it matters in California, as Senator Barack Obama is a shoo-in for the state, but I still like to think my vote matters, at least to me it does.

So I ask you … do I vote for my principles, which are actually far more centered than people believe, but if someone drew a line in the sand, I would lean to the left. Or do I vote for someone who I think is principled—Senator John McCain. Obama changes his mind faster than I switch my shoes; at least McCain’s opinions change over the course of many years. (That’s a joke. Laugh. Now.)

A friend wisely informed me that no politician is principled so I should vote with my principles, but I need more convincing.

I’m also appalled by the media coverage of Governor Sarah Palin. I may not agree with her politics, but she is not a bimbo or a bitch—two insults hurled by close friends and family members. For the record, she never banned books, and she never said “God made dinosaurs 4000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures“—a blogger made up those statements (and more) and attributed them to her just for fun.

Don’t panic though. I may defend Palin against false rumors, but I do think her record should be closely scrutinized (although can the pundits please stop acting as though McCain is going to drop dead the minute he takes office). I also believe I have more than one choice; at this moment I plan to write in a candidate although I’m open to suggestions.

So give me some feedback—convince me. Why should I vote for your candidate?

One more thing … you have to check out this out this Biden story and clip.
