rock the vote

today is election day.  i have been reading up on the candidates running for various offices in order to make an informed decision that will hopefully enable the best candidate for the job to be elected.  however, living in illinois and specifically in chicago, i often feel that the election process is just choosing the lesser of many evils.  our state is known for being extremely corrupt, politicians doing favors and taking kick backs from businesses, and running one of the worst deficits in the country.  we are also the proud home of idiot  former governor rod blagojevich which has put our state government in the spotlight as a cautionary tale to the rest of the country.  awesome.

so with that said, i'm going to head to the polls today and hope that my vote helps someone who is dedicated to addressing the issues that are important to me succeed.  now get out there and VOTE!
