I am a bad voter

As the presidential election nears, I find myself caring less and less. Sure it comes down to John McCain and Barack Obama but I don't know enough about either of the candidates to feel my vote will be well placed. I think that in the case of many younger people, the spark and fire to go out and learn the candidates stance on different issues just isn't there. The president will obviously make a huge difference on many things and if I voted on a whim and hated the new president, the blame would be partly on me. My uneducated vote I feel would be better uncast. I am only 18 years old and because of my immaturity and lack of knowledge of the inner workings of our government, my vote will lay dormant, for this election at least.
