I'm in florida and here it is election day and I have about an hour and half before I have to figure out what I am going to do - apparently Florida is a swing state - so "theoretically" my vote could make a difference with who is going to win, which means I can't necessarily just vote my conscience - my thoughts lie much along the lines of chant's first posting on this thread. Neither candidate is a good candidate, and i don't think that mcCain will end abortion, but at the very least he (hopefully) will continue to allow Catholics to work in the medical profession, not socialize medicine, etc... even though he has a tacit approval of abortion by saying it is a state's rights issue, in comparison to Obama, at least I can be "assured", temporarily, that I will be able to have my children in a birth center and that I will be allowed to live more of the life that I wish to live. I guess the way I see it is that it buys four more years before all hell breaks loose if McCain is elected (theoretically, of course).
