What’s a voter to do?

This year seems to be just one bad choice after another for mid term voting. I have a blue dawg Democrat–Charlie Melancon–running for Senate that appalled me last week by saying this was a “Christian nation” and that he hoped it remained so in the televised debate with David Vitter. David Vitter came off as more reasonable with his answer and I thought that was an impossibility. I closed my check book on that one and am looking at the Green Party Candidate now. What a Hobson’s choice!

I can’t vote for the Democratic Congressman for reasons I wrote about earlier. So, that’s almost a Sophie’s choice. I wanted to like you Cedric, but you’ve just had too many ethics lapses that they’ve caught you on! That makes me wonder what lurks uncaught.

Bostonboomer linked this morning to a post over at Corrente by Valhalla on how the Democratic Party is no longer the beneficiary of a gender gap. No wonder. With this odd assortment of blue dawgs, Jane-Crow-adherents-of-Stupakistan, and fall-in-line to pass anything cowards, where’s a vote to go these days?

I cannot divorce my vote from the issues or the fact I live in New Orleans which is still reeling from Hurricane Katrina and now the BP oil spill and a horrid governor. I do not believe that putting in whacko tea party candidates is going to do one’s state or municipality any good during a tough recovery. I also think if a critical mass go with Speaker of the House Agent Orange–Snookie of the Radical Right Prudes–we’re going to lose ground in a big way. This election season is the original rock and a hard place. I only hope and pray for a few years of gridlock at this rate!

Anway, I just wanted to let you know that we’ll have live links and live blogging tomorrow so you can bring you voices, votes, and on-the-ground poll stories to every one here. Again, we’re a sharing place so I expect they’ll be an assortment of choices and varying levels of anger and disappointment.

Maybe one of us will have a few bright spots in an otherwise bleak elections season. I have one candidate that I’m strongly voting for and that’s Caroline Fayard who is running for Lt. Governor. I’d like a liberal woman in there to offset the horrible Bobby Jindal whose policy has been like the thing from Honey Island Swamp. She’s worth rooting for.

Every thing else appears to be choice-gone-bad.
