I am having a bit of a major personal crisis with this, as I increasingly want to see Obama win but am too conflicted by his extreme abortion stance to be able to stomach voting for him.
But me as a person who read all those harlem rennaissance books, and so much slave-time historical fiction, and grew up in a VERY racist family...I'm SO HYPED to see a black man become president.
And me as a person who's seen only cynical, critical views on this country for years, I'm so ready to have a uniting force the media will back and other countries will admire and poor and gay people will even like.
Me as an environmentalist, me as a pacifist, all kinds of things. I am crossing my fingers...
But I just can't vote for him, I get sick to my stomach about it. I am ashamed of not voting but I don't feel like I, in good conscience, can.
