Dear Cindy Miller of Washington, Illinois:
Please never do this again. Sure, you had a tough time deciding on who to vote for, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to vote. Part of the right to vote involves the right to abstain if you, as you say, "can't confidently vote for either candidate." A coin flip? REALLY? Look. We get that you had conflicting view points on the candidates, but they're both so...different in their own way, you couldn't choose one over the other? You couldn't give some issues more weights than the other? Okay, fine. But this is just ridonkulous. The opportunity to vote is one of the greatest things we have as Americans and acts like this trivialize it and undermine the struggle that was undertaken to earn and keep that right to vote. Don't reduce that privilege to a joke. This isn't deciding what kind of take-out you want for lunch; this is choosing the leader of the free world.
Love,
America

Wow, this is crazy, but I have a friend named Cindy Miller (who lives in another state) and I could not believe it when, just two days ago, I learned that she was not sure who to vote for...or even IF she was going to vote.
Needless to say, I was infuriated.
You think you know someone......
what's extra bizarre about this is she basically enumerates all the reasons to vote for obama. she says she's voted democratic nearly all the time, she says she's a christian, but pro-choice, and she seems to realize the smear campaigns are for shit.
why would you flip a coin, then?
i will say this ... sometimes flipping a coin can reveal my true wish ... if it comes up a certain thing and i'm happy, then i know that's the choice i really wanted. if i'm kind of bummed, then i know to pick the other thing.
coin flipping for president is not my style.
She really couldn't have even dressed up in red white and blue and strung some crepe paper around her house and have Yankee Doodle Dandy playing in the background and flipped the coin onto an American flag instead of brown carpet next to a box of baby wipes?
Couldn't you have spiced up the production on this, Cindy? Since you're only making it to be web-famous anyway?
prize, Mr. Wojicik!
Unfortunately, this is what happens when our education system is inadequate.
what about the other four candidates that don't even get a chance with this coin flipping idea?

@migrod: roll a D6, then?

She's probably hoping it's a magic coin that'll turn Obama white and WASPy since it seems to be the only issue left for her to have with him.
I want to also add that this election is JUST about The Presidency, surely these morons know that there are other offices up for vote too.
She should have flipped an I Ching coin...
Very Two-Face.
