Two young people asked me who I was going to vote for in the presidential primary Tuesday. I had to tell them I did not know -- not that it was any of their business!

Here it is Monday, the day before the primary election, and I do not know who I will vote for.

Actually, the person I wanted to vote for has dropped out of the election!

Some are attempting to compare Barack Obama to John Kennedy, saying Obama has energized the electorate, as did Kennedy. I am not sure that comparison can be made at all.

I dislike being among the undecided. Being undecided seems so . . . so . . . well, so wishy-washy, and I do not like feeling wishy-washy. I guess it is a good thing that no one candidate grabs everyone's attention. A candidate too "strong" might do more harm than good.

There is no telling what a president who is too charismatic or too popular or too "strong" might actually do. I have been reading what some opponents of President Woodrow Wilson think about his administration and some of what he did is scary!

So, I think I'm thankful that there is no particularly strong candidate and that we have the form of government we do - legislative, executive, and judicial branches - with checks and balances built into our constitution.

I pray those checks and balances continue working; and, I guess when I walk into the booth on Tuesday, I'll decide who I'm going to vote for. I will certainly be a part of the process. Our privilege of voting should not be taken for granted.
