A Well Kept Man

Tomorrow is a big day, a HUGE day! I realize that not everyone shares the same opinion and passion for politics as I do, but voting is one of the most basic, fundamental things that separates us from the animals (have you ever watched lions decide who gets to be in charge of the lady lions? Watch the Lion King and tell me that they're civilized).

Most of you out there know already know who you are going to vote for (maybe you already have voted, like me), but perhaps you haven't made up your mind. There is obviously a lot of information out there but as I am well-versed at using the internet as a power tool, I would recommend if you haven't figured it out then you should focus a couple hours on the internet this evening researching the candidates. (Stick to official campaign websites for candidates stances on issues...if you are looking for other things, just do a Google search on your topic of choice as they will most likely direct you to the most salient information.)

Please don't make uniformed choices..take thirty minutes to go check out the candidates. I'll forgive you if you can't quite make up your mind for District 3 Soil and Water Conservation Commissioner, but you should at least be able to make an intelligent decision based on your own research and thinking. Oprah is not qualified to tell you what to do, Rush Limbaugh is not either. You are the only person who knows what is best for you and your family, but you better make sure you know what you are choosing before you pull the level, or punch the card, or fill in the oval, or whatever way your town chooses to record votes.

If you need help figuring things out, this is a good place to start:

I'll be watching things from over here, don't be surprised if you get a phone call late at night tomorrow as I will be waking up to what could be a very interesting November 5th.
