My Wasted Vote

Tomorrow is primary day in California, one of the most important primary election in my recent memory. Finally, Californians' vote do make a different for a change. I was so ready that I elected to go with a "permanent absentee" ballot because I don't trust those touchscreen machines. So, after the Florida primary, I voted for Senator Edward. Then, the next day, he withdrew from the race. What? He withdrew!

Why Edward? Because I think he has the best chance of beating anyone the Republican would throw at him. Clinton and Obama are both great candidates but came with baggage. I want the man with the best chance of winning the White House. But my vote was casted and too late to change. What a pity? I am not sure those "permanent absentee" ballots are the cool after-all.

Now, I feel guilty. Maybe I should donate to Obama to make up for my wasted vote :)
