Get yo' vote on

I suppose presidential campaign season is in full swing since all the blogworld's abuzz about it. The Modern Gal is very active about her responsibility to vote, however she doesn't much like to talk about her views with others, because she usually gets all tongue-twisted and eventually upset.

However, I am all about trying to offer assistance to those of you who need it in trying to decide how to vote, although judging by what many of you have said/blogged/tweeted/etc., most of you already know how your going to vote. If that's the case, hopefully I can just entertain you politically.

They are in NO WAY intended to indicate how I am voting, NOR are they intended to spark any sort of sharp political debate here at The Modern Gal. PLEASE TAKE ANY POLITICAL HATRED REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE OF THE AISLE YOU IDENTIFY WITH ELSEWHERE. If I have a problem with how you're saying what you're saying, I will delete your comment. We champion only civility here at The MG, so put yo' big kid panties on and deal with it.

And for good measure, something that doesn't really have anything to do with politics:
