Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy

I'm a pretty popular person these days.  That's the impression you would get if you looked in my mailbox everyday.  Political candidates for every office, from Governor and Senator, to City Director and Justice of the Peace, are mailing me, asking for my vote.  While I am registered without a party affiliation, the national committee of the party I chose to vote with during the primary sent me a mailer reminding me to vote, and listing early voting locations.  They would probably give me a ride to the polling location if I asked nicely. 

Now I'm not particularly political, at least no more than the next person.  I vote, but I am not a serial voter.  It appears these mid-term elections (November 2, 2010) will have a large voter turnout.  Early voting and absentee voting have been high in my area.  Maybe there will be more than one other voter inside when I go to my polling location next Tuesday.  Selfishly, I hope not.

I don't want to post something that espouses views on issues, parties, or candidates.  I will, however, state a political opinion, on voting.
