Who's the man/woman for the job?
John McCain
  
17% [ 3 ]
Hillary Clinton
  
11% [ 2 ]
B. Obama
  
44% [ 8 ]
Either Clinton or Obama, just no more Republicans!
  
28% [ 5 ]
I'm too lazy to register to vote, or am apathetic.
  
0% [ 0 ]

It's easy to be cynical when you're young. You haven't had life spoil it by actually fulfilling you in some way yet. :D

Me? I've just celebrated my first year with the girl I adore, found that I'm averaging a 2:1 on my degree, got an interesting job for the holidays and I'm getting ready to put a deposit down on the flat of my dreams. :D

I think I was just born cynical. :P

Nah, it's a lifestyle choice. :p

The point is, it's easy to be a lot of things when you're young, so long as they are powerful and straightforward and pure. Cynicism can be as attractive in its own way as hope.

Ditto. The lesser of evils is still evil, and I vote for good no matter how unlikely it is that it will win.
