Bryon and I voted for Obama in the Tennessee primary, for a variety of reasons that I laid out in a reply to a friends-only post on darke's LJ. I really wonder, though, if part of Obama's success (as well as McCain's) is just complete Bush/Clinton Fatigue. Since I could first cast a ballot in 1980, for either President or Veep we've had Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush/Clinton, Clinton, Bush, and Bush. Hell, the Repubs have had either Bob Dole or one of the Bushes on every ticket since fucking 1976.
As I put it in Alex's journal: this will be the eighth presidential election where I could vote, and I'm damned fucking tired of having a Bush and/or Clinton somewhere on the ballot. For the first time in my adult life, I'd love to have a choice that didn't involve either of those two families. 28 years is quite enough, thankyouverymuch.
