It might be a dumb reason not to vote for him, but that's disrespecting my hometown and the people who live in it. Sure we've got our problems, crappy winters, high property taxes, an inner city that's a war zone, but what city doesn't(well apart from the crappy winters depending on where your are). But the good far outweighs the bad. We've got cool little neighborhoods, a cool Art Museum, Miller Park is a jewel. If you're thirsty we've got a bar just about anywhere you step foot. And there's good hardworking people that live here. Senator McCain I may like some of your ideas better than Senator Obama's but you don't diss my city. So on November 4 when I get my ballot I will be drawing the arrow towards Obama/Biden.
