To vote or not vote

We have the voter turnout numbers from yesterday's election. People will moan that not enough people are voting. Actually, I know some people who don't vote and I'm glad of it. They don't pay attention to what's going on. They take what comes their way. They have no desire to have a voice. So really, they shouldn't bother.

One thing you won't hear the moaners say is that some people don't vote because they see no reason. They want a reason to take the time and trouble to vote, but they don't see a dime's worth of difference between the two parties.

That might change now that the Democrats are in control of Congress and some Republicans are making noises about reviving 1994's Contract With America.

I have to write couple of election analysis pieces this week. Overall, I'm glad the election is over. Now let's see if the Democrats can do any better than the Republicans.

Actually, this election is over, but I'm afraid the 2008 election has just begun.
