Well, I voted early and cast my ballot for both Senator Harry Reid and Representative Shelley Berkley.

The hair on my neck literally stands up when I even entertain the very basic thought that someone like Sharron Angle (the Tea Party nutjob who is challenging Sen. Harry Reid, here in Nevada) might win and end up representing Nevada in the U.S. Senate. She is a regular whack job and has some just outright crazy ideas (abolishing Social Security and Medicare, making ALL abortions illegal, no separation of church/state, etc.). The economy here in Nevada has been utterly devastated in the current economic crisis and Nevadans are completely livid with anger. I'm hoping that that anger doesn't manifest itself in making things so much worse by putting the likes of Sharron Angle in such a high and influential office.

In another sense, though, I think that this election will do one big main thing. It will send a strong message to these two-faced, self-serving crooked politicians that if they don't serve the will of the people they are supposed to represent, they will be held to account and voted OUT. The ONE thing that We The People still have.....and that the crooked political establishment is afraid of is......The. Vote.
