i voted. i was not thrilled with the choices, but i did it. then i almost got excited when i saw how close things were; nothing like a close race to rouse my enthusiasm.
[i even like arcane sporting events if they are close: curling, field hockey, pingpong]
now, i am just sick of the whole thing. couldn't care a whit about who wins. will attempt to ignore the presidency for the next four years and then try again in 2004.
