Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and NC is part of the fun.
I have had a hard time this year, figuring out who to vote for. It seems like the whole world of politics has gone crazy.
And frankly, I don't feel like I belong anywhere politically. In many cases I just want to vote for "none of the above." So many candidates want to align themselves with national figures who are trouble. I prefer a candidate who can stand on his/her own.
In so many races, no one has really impressed me as worthy of my vote.
I do plan to vote against all the incumbent Rockingham County commissioners. They truly betrayed their constituents when they cleared the way for a casino here. At least for now the NC legislature has not made casinos legal. But our commissioners unanimously sold out to the big gambling interests, offering to transform the whole culture of our community for dollars.
So, I'll go do my civic duty tomorrow. And for the most part, I'll be hoping all the candidates lose.
