You're right, dude. But there's something about this year -- disagree with the candidates all you want, but people are engaged and eager to vote. Both sides are stepping up their ground efforts to get people to the polls. It's going to be crazy on Nov. 4th.
I would like to see us go to a system similiar to that of Oregon. After this election, I think we're going to see some changes in that direction.
