I'm watching the tail end of the Ohio U.S. Senate debate between Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) and Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel (R), and at this point, I'm looking for a third-party candidate for whom to vote.
So I guess I need to learn more about Scott Rupert.
I'm so glad we're just about a week and a half away from election day. This election season has been exhausting from the standpoint of the contentiousness and venom that's been spewed by all sides involved in this thing. I've said it before, there's enough blame to go around for our problems here in these United States of America, but, of course, some bear a little more responsibility than others.
I didn't watch the presidential debates or the vice presidential debate live out of respect for my sweet wife's sanity. She's not a fan of the fiddle faddle and mish mash that's usually associated with the so-called debates. So I watched them on YouTube afterwards.
Naturally, as a conservative, I was pretty happy with what I heard from Gov. Mitt Romney, and not so happy with what I heard from President Barack Obama. But as far as declaring a "winner" in these so-called debates, I'll pass on that. Besides, these things are more like forums than actual debates.
And we're not in college or high school here, there's no "winner" in these so-called debates.
Another reason that I didn't watch the debates live is because I already knew who I was supporting, knew where Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan stand on issues that are important to me, and knew that President Obama's values and stand on those issues don't reflect my own.
So I'm ready to vote. Nov. 6 can't come quickly enough.
Yeah, I know I can take advantage of early voting, but I enjoy the hubbub of election day, so I can wait a little longer.
