I was curious to see if anyone knew who RP voted for in the presidential Election. Did he write himself in?

He endorsed Balwin after a kind of messy attempt to stay neutral.

I wish I had voted for Baldwin or Barr. I am sad to say I voted McCain because some people convinced me I would be wasting my vote

oh oh but now you are educated. Heh

It was messy, you're right. The main factor was in how Bob Barr conducted himself, leaving Paul with very little choice but to go with Baldwin.

My opinion, Paul would have preferred to stay neutral.

I hope that less and less people in the future will vote for a candidate primarily because they don't want to waste their vote on the candidate they really want. It is almost unbelievable that so many people vote for their second or third choice in this country. The only waste of a vote, in my opinion, is voting for someone whom you aren't that enthused about. It's not often that our "democratic" policymakers ever ask us what we think about anything, and when we do get that one chance to make our voices heard, we say something we don't really believe in??

It just makes no sense to me.

I was in this category until right at the election, but I didnt really start to turn until it was too late. I think people take the politician that supports most of their values or one value that is important to them, and then they justify the others to fit their objective. Im trying to convince friends to vote third party with me next time if the Reps or Dems dont have a liberty minded candidate, but its a losing battle.

Baldwin wasn't on in PA. I probably would've voted for him if he was. I was actually uncertain going to the machine, but decided just to vote Bob Barr and LP across the board. Thinking back, I should have wrote in Ron Paul.
