Not the pretty ones… I’m talking about the ones in your stomach! I can’t ever remember being so nervous on election day. The soul of America is on trial. And today, it’s about who we are as Americans!
I must say I identified with former Mayor Bloomberg’s television statement that aired nationwide yesterday. In normal times, he was an independent voter who preferred to split his ballot between Republicans and Democrats… always based on merit and the issues. That was me too. But those were normal times, and these are not.
In previous blog posts I discussed the dangers of polarization, personal attacks, lies, and total partisanship. Bloomberg’s reluctant conclusion is that voting straight Democrat this time is the only way we can shock the system.
We should not be in this situation. I yearn for the day when I can again vote based on the personal integrity, talent, and ideas of the candidate… no matter which party.
But for the life of me I cannot think of a better approach to voting today than Bloomberg’s. It’s the very soul of America that’s at stake!

Agree, for just the same reasons. For the first time in my life I voted a straight ticket (Democrat)
For the 2nd time in my life I voted a straight ticket! (Democrat)
