Political Leanings

I have commented before that I lean left. That is quite controversial in my conservative PCA world, so I don't say it that often. However, I do appreciate the way Tim Etherington lays out his political calculus in his posts: Am I a Liberal and Its the End of the World as we know it - And I Feel Fine I have wanted to to sit down and do a similar point by point thinking of my concerns in this election and honestly work out where I feel there is merit in the candidates opinions and where I feel like Tim that both are bad medicine. Tim has done lots of this work for me. I feel hamstrung in the significance of my political opinions by the 12 - 16 point lead Bush has in the state of Tennessee. I am going to vote, though I don't feel my vote will count for much.
