Midtern election musings: November 2nd is sooner than you think

[illusionofjoy]

Pennsylvania's 14^th congressional district has a Green Party candidate running. His name is Ed Bortz and he is challenging incumbent Democrat Mike Doyle from the left as Tea Party Republican Melissa Haluszczak challenges him from the far right. While I don't want anyone affiliated with the Tea Party having any chance of getting into power, Doyle is a single-payer sellout like Kucinich who, in addition to that, committed the unforgivable sin of voting for the Stupak Amendment. For these reasons alone he does not deserve my vote. Couple that with the fact that his incumbency is pretty much assured, and I'm seriously thinking of casting a ballot for the hippie.

For those keeping score at home, my current ballot if polled today:

PA Senator
[X]Joe Sestak (D)
[ ]Pat Toomey (R)

PA Governor
[ ]Dan Onorato (D)
[ ]Tom Corbett (R)
[X]Write-in: "None of the Above"

PA-14 Congressional District
[ ]Mike Doyle (D)
[ ]Melissa Haluszczak (R)
[X]Ed Bortz (G)
