We don’t ordinarily choose sides in any election. But this year I’m going to risk the enraged emails from libertarians, Republicans, and Green Party members, and come out strong for the Democratic Obama-Biden ticket.
Never before has it been so exciting to vote for a Democratic candidate: a writer who may not agree with us all issues, but who is always thoughtful and, as Colin Powell put it, has an intellectual vigor that is fitting and most needed for our times. Never before has it been so terrifying to imagine a vice-presidential candidate as president. Don’t think for a second that Sarah Palin wouldn’t make fun of quirkyalone community organizers if she knew about us!
No matter what the polls say, we don’t know how people will vote Nov. 4. So get out there and vote and protect our right to live in a country where it’s okay to different. Even quirky. No one asked the candidates about quirkyness or quirkyaloneness at the debates, but I have a strong suspicion that Obama would be more supportive. He was, after all, raised by a single mother.
