I agree with you about traditional conservatives getting screwed in this election. But I also think traditional liberals have been screwed for years. "Liberal" is such a dirty word now. Democrats do not run liberals; they run centrists who are considered leftists because the center has shifted dangerously to the right. I am a traditional liberal, and I don't feel that I have anyone to vote for this election either. I certainly voted for Kerry, and would have voted for whomever the Democratic party put up against Bush, but Howard Dean was the first candidate I've seen for President, well, in my *lifetime* who came close to true liberalism.

I am, however, pleased beyond all reason that I got to cast a vote for Barack Obama today.
