My mother tells me that when I was small I was afraid of Slimey the Worm on Sesame street, and whenever he would come on I'd hide under her bed.
I loved all the other monsters though... Go figure.

If you don't know who to vote for, read up on the issues that affect you and pick a candidate with whom you most agree. Regardless of who you chose, please, make an informed vote.
As for me, there are several reasons I am voting for Obama. First, and foremost, Sarah Palin scares me. She is one seriously frightening individual. I wont even go into all the reasons she is a bad idea for VP here, because I don't have enough text space and we're trying to keep this civil. I want to keep her safely up in Alaska where she can't affect me and will hopefully be eaten by a bear.
Before she was chosen as McCain's running mate, I was ambivalent about McCain. Were he to win the election, I was thinking, Eh, so what, another 4 years of suck. We'll manage.
But then he chose Palin, and, well, wow. No. We can't do that. She is way too crazy and far from anything I can tolerate from my leadership. Just, no. We have enough crap going wrong for the US right now. We don't need her making things worse. In fact, the only thing Sarah Palin can make better is a comedian's career.
The economy sucks, the world hates us, and the US is in a terrible position right now. We need change. We need a new direction. We need Obaman.
Do I think Obama is going to walk into office and suddenly the world will be a better place filled with sunshine and kittens? No, I don't. I'm not unrealistic.
I simply see Obama as being the best choice for us, not only on a national level but on the world stage as well. In this day and age of information, We are all citizens of the world, and can't afford to sequester ourselves into separate little countries and try to stand on our own against something like "terrorism". Terrorism isn't a nation, or a government. You can't go to terrorism and bomb it. We need a leader who knows this and can work with other nations to make this a safer better world for *everyone*.

Ironically I loved snorkeling in Hawaii, probably because I could see below me, and one of my favorite vacations is to the beach.
