Still undecided on my vote tomorrow, but reading small is (still) beautiful by Joseph Pearce is trying to influence my vote. I am at the section on small politics-or in other words, the belief that the most control should be at the local level. Real democracy occurs when each man is his own representative-much like it was in the ancient Greek city-states.
Most Republicans say they are for small government, but most don't really mean it-or not to the degree I believe in it. Ron Paul is definitely the exception there.. (Of course believing it and being able to do much about-even as president is two separate things.)
If I went with my gut right now, the lever would pull for Ron Paul.
Oremus pro invicem!
