JetLS

Since you're apparently a CT resident, JetLS, you can always look into voting for a good third-party candidate. It's not as if your vote is likely to tip CT to McCain, after all! If it does, Obama has a much bigger problem to worry about than protest votes.

Obama clearly made a calculation that he could afford to lose a certain percentage of the civil-liberties vote. Why disappoint him?

And when we find that there have been huge abuses of Presidential spying power over Americans in twenty or thirty years, you'll have the pleasure of being able to tell everyone that you didn't vote for him for that very reason.
