Good job! My very first election was Jim Webb (the senator) vs. George Allen in the state of Virginia, USA. I voted Webb. Not that Webb wasn't a shithead (he made some very sexist comments about women at the Naval Academy), but George Allen was by far the bigger shithead. One part of being an American is that you often vote defensively. I also voted for Obama in his election against McCain. And no, I don't regret it; McCain would have been worse. Same thing with respect to Obama vs. Romney. Romney added a thin layer of awkward to your standard Republican ick. EDIT: I have but one badge to give, and I'm going to badge this thread.
