How to Feel Better About Your Life: Dissonance Reduction

Tom Scharpling mentioned this at the very end of his October 21st show and it makes a lot of sense. Here's what he said, to paraphrase:
"Go out and vote next Tuesday...for president. Actually, go out and vote for Barack Obama. If you plan to vote for John McCain, just stay home. Really, don't bother."
Huh? WTF? That's not so nice, right?

I have a better idea and it makes perfect sense. If you want to be a "winner" then you should vote for the Barry. He's gonna win. Even if you had planned for voting for Pappy, you should really vote for Holmes. You'll feel better. You'll feel like you actually did something; part of the solution.

Just some free advice. Don't be a loser for the next four or eight years.

Sure it's bandwagon hopping, but why not? Remember, I called Patriots loss last year (apparently I sold my soul for that -- dammit!).
