It was the toughest vote I've cast in my adult life. My genuine ideological picks were gone, as was my first choice from the field that remained. I admire both of my party's candidates, and have serious misgivings about each as well.
In the end, I genuinely surprised myself. And while I am completely satisfied with the reason why I voted the way that I did, I will have absolutely no problem supporting either of my party's candidates in the election.
The road ahead is going to be long and hard. But we can't give up now -- it means far too much.
That is a genius piece of writing, and mostly applies to me too.

Edwards supporter who voted for Clinton, and wished Feingold had run?

Steve, "no preference" still is the best choice for anyone who has "absolutely no problem supporting either of my party's candidates" - your vote matters.
