Aside from strongly not wanting Hillary as president, yes.

I did for a while. But I think Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich have helped cure me of it. I'm reminded of a conversation I once had with a woman about "kids these days." She was spouting a bunch of the usual liberal spiel about how massive corporations are in charge of everything now, and how young people are letting it happen by not voting. I told her that I often vote to make a statement rather than for the candidate most likely to win, and she got really indignant. Now, how are we supposed to change things if you expect us to vote for politics as usual? I'm very suspicious of any candidate that's been groomed by the media to be the front-runner. It seems like whenever there's a candidate that young people can really get excited about, the establishment accuses them of "stealing votes" or being a "spoiler." Essentially they're saying, "Make a difference! Get out there and vote(for Giant Douche/Turd Sandwich)!"
