Megan McArdle writes, in her post “Of online debate and hidden agendas,” that she’s probably going to vote for Obama, but she’s not happy about it:

Both Obama and McCain supporters seem convinced that my every utterance on the topic is part of my not-so-hidden agenda to undermine their candidate. I have no hidden agenda. My agenda is out-front and open; I’ll probably vote for Obama, but not with any expectation that I’ll like the result very much. I am not excited about this election. I do not believe that my vote is going to immanentize the eschaton. I do not think that I am engaged in a titanic battle, in which the forces of good must beat back the cosmic evil that threatens to engulf us all. I think I’m deciding which of two politicians to hand a lot of power I don’t want either of them to have.

Emphasis mine.

I was, quite honestly, prepared to vote for whomever the Democratic party nominated this year, assuming it wasn’t Hillary Clinton. Not because I expected to like them much, but because I can’t bear the thought of “President McCain.” As I’ve mentioned before, I thought a Clinton/McCain race would be a Worst Case Scenario.

The more I learn about Barack Obama, though, I’m not sure that Clinton would’ve been a worse choice. I’m getting less and less excited about this election as it approaches, because both candidates are atrocious. I don’t want either of them to win, but, come election day, I may have to break my own promise, hold my nose, and vote for McCain. He is, after all, the least repulsive Democrat running.
