Psychology of Voting

Psychologically Speaking, Why Folks Make Irrational Decisions, Both in Voting and Other Times. Via [livejournal.com profile] darillian - pretty interesting, and not particularly biased in a partisan fashion, which is always rather nice.

Also, an article about Sarah Palin, with some interviews with folks who knew her in Alaska, repeating what many of us with a liberal bias seem to already believe - she's an evil bitch - but with some evidence to back it up. :)

I have lost my patience for those fools who follow McCain. His views are exactly like Bush's. And he only chose Palin for his VP to get more women voters. *sigh*

My fiance and I are going to move out of the country if McCain is elected President. :|

I have too much faith in this country to leave it. Instead, I'm going to start engaging in activism - if things have gotten so rough in this country that we could elect McCain even as a Bush has a 19% approval rating, I feel that it's necessary for those who believe in more liberal views to take a stand and have our voices heard. Not entirely sure what I'm gonna do yet, though - for now, I'm busy hoping that Obama wins. :)
