And really, I wasn't too pleased with either candidate, myself :tai:

Now that's a good point.
It always seemed strange to me, that US only has three candidates (and that the third one hasn't a chance in hell). So basically you have only two candidates - and only two political options.
How is that democracy at all?
Especially when both options think quite similar on some issues...
It basically just comes down to the differences which makes the world seem either black or white (like the right of abortion, or homosexuality)...
I mean - and please don't take this the wrong way - we had the same choice basically while still under the communist regime (there were elections back then and you were voting different candidates - that all had similar ideas on most of the issues - just a different way of expressing them).
