1. Who are you voting for in November?

'Bama/Biden. The Supreme Court needs a shift, and McCain/Palin seem to prefer justices like Scalia.

2. Who did you vote for in 2004 and 2000?
2000: Couldn't vote in in Connecticut as I was on probation :(

2004: The Conn. Legislature restored probationers' rights to vote, so I went Democrat. :D

2006: Moved to Jersey, couldn't vote as probationers' in Jersey can't vote. Lose your rights just by crossing a state line :(

2008: Just finished up my probation and can finally vote in N.J. :D

3. Is this the most important election in your lifetime?

So far, yes...

4. What will you miss about the Bush administration?

The possibility that we came very close to becoming a one branch form of government with no checks and balances... Oh wait, I'm glad to see that common sense prevailed.

5. Leaving George W. Bush out of consideration, what former U.S. president would you most like to have waterboarded?

I wouldn't condone torture in any case. Some people have common decency and a moral compass. There are some lines you just don't cross. I deeply respect McCain, despite what other reservations I may have against him, for his stance prohibiting torture.

Guantanamo. I feel safer knowing that terrorists are locked up without trial in a Communist nation.

The Daily Show. Jon Stewart has proven himself much less funny when trying to poke fun at his beloved Barack Obama. I suppose Joe Biden might keep things interesting.

I am anti-waterboarding. Even for W.
