If McCain loses Maryland by three votes, it is my fault. I went to the post office today, and there were three teenagers filling out voter registration forms (today was the deadline). They got to the "party affiliation" blank and had a long discussion amongst themselves. Then one of them looked at me and asked, "What party is Obama in?"

Besides the fact that they hadn't bothered to educate themselves at all, I was very happy to see that they were exercising their constitutional right to choose our leader. Even if Obama doesn’t win (hey, I can hope), he has done wonders to get voters motivated to participate in this vital part of our government.  And I can only pray that these teenagers do learn something about the issues before election day so that they can become informed voters.

The three teenagers waited in line for 20 minutes.  Then they got to the counter and realized that nobody had any money for the stamps they needed to put on the forms to send them off. So, civic-minded American that I am, I paid for their stamps.

See - Republicans can be giving sometimes!  Even if it does mean that Obama wins by an even larger margin.  Honestly, I like Obama.  But I am as pro-life as you can get without crossing the line and becoming a crazy clinic bomber.  So McCain has my vote (not just because he is pro-life, but that is my largest issue). 

At any rate, I left the post office today with a smile on my face for helping move our youth along the road to responsible adulthood.  But, if these are our future leaders, we are in trouble.
