"I don't have to vote for President and I may not."

That is a point that I have been trying to make with all of the moderates and conservatives that are offended by John McCain. The 2004 Presidential resulted in record of numbers of votes in the PResidential election. President Bush was the first President to receive more than half the votes cast in quite a while. Follow 2004 with small vote totals to send a message.

It is vitally important that we vote for every other race and initiative on which we are sufficiently informed. But if say 2/3 the votes are cast in 2008 as 2004 we will have sent a powerful message. I do not expect the media to report it, but we will know.
