Sure, I agree that elections today have turned into voting for which marketing campaign you like the most, but as far as voting for Obama vs McCain, is like being offered a Swiss Challet dinner vs. a plate of Ebola served over Sour Frog Ass that’s been sitting in the fridge for a month.

Swiss chalet, a plate of Ebola served over Sour Frog Ass that’s been sitting in the fridge for a month, is there really a big difference?

Yes, I like the Swiss Chalet sauce more.

Or in the words of David Sedaris (from a recent piece in the New Yorker) regarding undecided voters:
“I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
I mean, really, what’s to be confused about?”

I have that sinking feeling too. There’s every reason to be optimisitic Obama will win, but these are also the people who elected GWB. Twice.
