To me the embarrassment isn't that we have a low turn out rate (although it was pretty high this time). The embarrassment is that so many people don't take the time to look in to the issues. Too many people let the media spoon feed them a biased viewpoint.

The most incredulous lies spewed by the likes of Michael Moore (and Dan Rather) are believed whole heartedly despite the evidence. I'm glad when the uninformed "slackers" don't vote.

While I'm saddened by the low voter turnout, I still think It's better to not vote than to vote for the wrong guy. Although the best thing would be to research the facts yourself and register and informed vote.
