Despite studiously following polls, and making sarcastic remarks on the latest scandals, and having a handful of political blogs I follow, I have a confession:
I am an uninformed voter.
And, you know what, I don't really care. I'm a bit of a Democratic party man, and I can be a bit of a one issue voter, especially on local issues. The main reason is that I feel that 99% of government action affects other people, or it just maintains -- keeps the trains running, if you will.
You could make an argument that corporate welfare affects me in a convoluted economic model, or that a minimum wage increase will eventually trickle up to me, or that the ongoing rape of African natural resources sets up a volatile foreign policy that promises to bite us in our ass. However, those things don't motivate me, and they don't lend credo to one candidate or another in an election.
