It is difficult sometimes to keep from speaking about politics. Politics are not for polite conversation; they are too often inflammatory, and it will get you banned on message boards. That said, I had my eyes opened by a ferret I know (a very intelligent man, who probably does not use this site) and have been involved in politics an activism for some time now.
Up for grabs is the Senate, and depending on who gets it either nothing will happen or we'll see lots of change, probably for the worse. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for, though I personally have not seen any redeeming qualities in the Red party for over a decade now. I'd rather vote Green or Lib on the big ticket elections, as wasteful as that may seem.
Whatever party you decide to vote for, please do go vote on Election Day, the 4th of November. You may feel disenfranchised (hell, I know I am), but not participating is an act of submission, not defiance.

IN my state, I also would have rather voted for Libertarian, but the Democrats in state have done a lot of good in terms of womens' rights issues, gay rights issues and etc.
