Race, Sex, Your Vote

I am saddened that in 2008, many people will decide how to vote based on nothing more than race or gender.

If you choose not to vote for Barack Obama, let it be because you disagree with his positions, not because he is African-American. Conversely, a vote for Obama shouldn't be cast for no reason other than he is a black man.

Should you choose to vote for John McCain, let it be because he reflects your beliefs, not because he selected a woman as his running mate.

This election is far too important to allow your vote to be determined based on emotional, shallow reasoning. Educate yourself about the candidates and what they stand for. Vote with your brain. Decide who you do want to be your next president, not who you don't want.
