Who are you voting for in November?

[MelissaCato]

Ron Paul, again.

 

[seraphson]

No one but Paul.

assuming there are elections in November.

Good point...though taxmageddon isn't until December so I think we'll be in for a rough ride until around early next year we'll be over the cliff. If Paul isn't on the ballot I'd like to really, really see Romney get in so we get another 4 years down the road to serfdom and failure. Just so it's EXTRA crystal clear that the current bi-partisan sham is fully revealed in showing there is no difference, no positives between the two. Unfortunately every four years that passes is another four years closer to running out of the amount of given times we can fail before it's all over. Though "all over" may just be the medicine we need (but I like our pro-active approach better).

Been thinking the same thing. We can write in Paul but they wont count it. I was thinking of voting Liberitarian so atleast we can look up what % of americans voted 3rd party. Regardless I'm not in a swing state. Mittens will win anyway here.

I'm writing in Paul. I'd really like to find a better way to send a message though. But I'm not sure voting for Obama would accomplish anything except make the GOP hate us even more.

Truth be told though, you have to be one cold sob to be able to put an x by obamas name. I'm done voting for evil regardless of the outcome.

I don't understand why there aren't more Obama votes. If you're in a state where your vote could potentially tip it from Romney to Obama, wouldn't you want to vote for the outcome that provides the soonest opportunity to elect a pro-liberty president? If Romney is elected, that won't be until 2020 at the earliest, and that's only if his VP is not popular with the sheep. If Romney made a politically astute choice for VP, we might not have another opportunity until 2028. On the other hand, if Obama is re-elected, there is hope for 2016.

If you don't live in a swing state, meaning your vote serves no purpose other than sending a message, then of course, write in Ron Paul.

Sad but true!!!

No one but Paul.

[LimitedGovernment]

Voting for Johnson in order to try to increase the profile of a third party, while still sending a message about my support for limited government. I would be very happy to see Johnson poll in the double digits. I'd be elated to see him in the general election debates.

You know, I really don't get this perspective when I think about it. I'm already pushing for a limited government movement within the Democratic party, and I don't see why people wouldn't do a Red Democrat strategy to keep the momentum going.

Edit: Well, besides the horrible name. It needs different branding. "Red Democrat" conjures up a totally different idea than "Blue Republican".
