If you are voting will it be Democrat or Republican?

You are right as time goes on and the primaries thin the pack it just gets worse and worse doesn't it? I have no clue who I am going to vote for. I knew awhile back, but as more information comes to light I realise that there is no way I could possibly vote for that person. I just voted in the primary. I did not really vote for a person I was mostly voting against a person. You know voting for someone just so a certain person would not get the 51% needed to carry the state. Well both parties will have a run off in my state in February because neither party had a candidate with 51% of the vote. Fl. did have a pretty good voter turnout for a primary though and my county had a great turnout 53%. That is really high for us. I do not ever say who I will vote for sorry. Shalom~Adoniah

I won't vote for Hillary either, and i really don't want to vote for obama..Ther main reason i will not vote fot Obama is because he refused to salute the american flag...they had a big write up showing Bush, hillary ans obama, and they were looking at the american flag and saluteing it, but Obama refused to salute the flag..So i don't think that i would like to vote for someone who refuses to salute the American flag..I mean what is he anyway..He wants to be president but has no respect for the flag? that left a really bad taste in my mouth when he did that.It was on the internet, i am not sure what link but i am sure many people seen it....

Hello Ctrymuziklver, Well, a conscious decision to abstain is still a vote. It tells the party that they are veering off course, and that they are not vetting worthy candidates. In fact, it's a powerful message! I was raised in a VERY active Democrat household. So much so that we were in attendance for Jimmy Carter's convention in New York in '76 (my mother was a delegate). I voted the Dem. party line until I really started to understand economics and how politics really works. It was then that I abandoned the Democrat party, and I've never looked back. Just because you typically vote for one party does not mean that you can't cross the aisle to pull the lever for another party's candidate, if you believe he or she would do the country good. I always vote the candidate, not the party! I've even twice seemingly thrown my vote away by voting for a third party candidate. I did so for principle's sake. I understand why you are finding that Clinton & Obama fall short of the mark. So, perhaps you might want to explore other parties & their candidates. I am supporting Romney. Though, if he doesn't get the G.O.P. party nomination, I will be looking at third party candidates myself. This time (today) is not the first time that the Democrat Party has gone so far off the target, that the party itself crumbled into segregated camps, which is how the USA ended up with the Republican Party. So, you are not alone in your discontent, either today or through the annals of history. http://members.aol.com/jfepperson/repub.html Please note #5 - Lecompton constitution "The Lecompton Constitution resulted in a chain of events that severed any ties that kept the Union intact during the late 1850s. The debate on whether slavery should be allowed in new states was a longstanding issue that was supposedly resolved with the Compromise of 1850. Because of different interpretations of the compromise conflicts arose, which manifested themselves in the aftermath of the convention that met in Lecompton, in 1857. The controversy resulted in a rift in the Democratic Party that inevitably led to a civil war and made a mockery of the democratic system" http://www.brockmislan.com/per8_lecompton.htm

For the first time in my voting life (my first presidential vote was for Reagan), I have no idea. I backed Thompson, but well, he disappointed me by pulling out before Super Tuesday. Now I'm left with deciding who is "second best". I wouldn't vote for McCain, even under threat of a long waterboarding session. In fact, to me McCain is just a Democrat in RINO's clothing. Romney, I could vote for, but more out of a vote against McCain. I agree with a lot of what Ron Paul says, but his "blame America at all costs" attitude is a deal breaker for me. We'll see what happens after Tuesday. By the time the Wisconsin primary rolls around, the Republican ticket will probably be decided. I might vote for Obama just to boost him against Clinton. I've voted Democrat and Libertarian in local and state elections. This time might be my first vote for a democrat presidential candidate... if only in the primaries.

I am a registered Rebublican, just because I am in aggreement with the issues that party stands on. I will never vote for Hillary, I don't think she would do us any good at all. I am iffy on Obama, some things he says I agree with, but I probably won't vote for him. I was leaning toward Huckabee, he did start out pretty strong there for a while, but I figure he will drop out eventually, most likely after Super Tuesday. I think McCain would make a strong leader, but I have to look into where he stands on the issues. As for Romney, I don't know, he doesn't thrill me. I guess I can say as of right now, I am undecided. But I will be at the polls come November.

I will definitely be voting. It is a civic duty I take seriously. I get irritated by people who complain about the way things are in our government, and when I ask them if they voted, they say no. Well, I think that right there doesn't give them the right to complain. We cannot change the way things are if we don't voice our opinion. That is why we have the right to vote for our government. I am a registered independent voter. I vote according to who I think will do the best job. The last few elections, it has been basically voting for the lesser of two evils. I weigh the good points and bad about each candidate, and base my vote from that. I can't fully agree with everything the democrats do and believe, but I also disagree with most of what the republicans do and believe. As I said, the lesser of two evils. As far as Hilary or Obama, I am still in a toss up. While I think Hilary has her strong points and could possibly repair the damage done to the relationships with our allies in other countries, I also think that the country might not be ready for a woman president. With Obama, I think he has some good points and he could possibly effect some positive changes in our government. As for the whole black/white issue.... In todays society, I have to wonder why that matters? I know that some voters will not vote for Obama just based on his mixed race. That is disturbing to me. On the republican side, all I see is a bunch of rich men who are very out of touch with middle class America. Do these men really have a clue about the day to day struggles most Americans face. Sure they talk a good game, but they've never walked a mile in our shoes. They come from rich families and have no concept of how tough it is to earn a living, support a family and make it on low wages. Please don't throw your vote away. If all of the democrats that are just against both of them, we're sure to have yet another person out of touch with the problems we face as Americans. Weigh your options, figure out the lesser of two evils and make your vote count.

I will not vote either Republican or Democrat this election. The choices all leave much to be desired. If more Americans opened their eyes and actually took a good look, they would probably see that the Libertarian party usually runs the best candidates, but fearing not having a shot at being on the winning side, follow the crowd and vote either demo or rep. The truth is that the best candidate for president (in my opinion) is Christine Smith, a libertarian who would bring our troops home and undo much of the travesty the Bush Regime has heaped upon us. Here is a quote by her: "As President, my priority will be the American people. I will return our nation to the true American principles of limited government and individual liberty." Check her out for yourselves at www.christinesmithforpresident.com

I will definitely vote Democrat. The republican candidate have only help to confirm my democrat vote. I have 99.9999% made up my mind and am so glad that Edwards is no longer in the race.

I'm a Democrat and have been for many years; however, I have voted against my party a couple of times. One year I voted Independent and another the Green Party. This year I still need to hear more debating to decide, as I'm still not convinced with their petty bickering that either is the right person. Hilary really turned me off with her tears and pleading and think its a sign of weakness to get votes that way. I am not likely to vote for her. I didn't like the fact he refused to honor our flag. The flag is very important to me and feel everyone should honor our flag.

I'll definitely be voting and I'll definitely be voting Democratic, although I'm still undecided which of the two remaining candidates I'll vote for. I happen to respectfully disagree with those who have said there isn't a good choice in the Democratic party this election; I think we had TOO MANY good candidates if that's possible and I was sorry to see the ones go who had to drop out. Are any of them perfect and do I agree 100% on every issue with any of them? Of course not, but that may not be possible. However, I do agree with the party in general and the remaining candidates in particular on the core issues that face our country and its people today. They have their disagreements on some issues but they are close enough to be worked out and they'll both be 1000% better than what we have now and at least 110% better than any of the rich old white men running in the other party.

I definitely will be voting this time around, ctry. I feel like my people had too much of a struggle just to get the privilege not to. I am a lifelong Democrat, and I have seen nothing recently that would make me question my party affiliation. I am solidly behind Hillary because she represents the strength that any person -man or woman - should possess if they are to be the leader of the Free World. I have nothing against Obama, but I do believe that he needs to be a little more seasoned before he could handle the responsibilities of the Presidency. I feel that we are basically going to get much the same thing no matter who wins, but I'll hedge my bet with Hillary.

I will have to vote Democrat as I have for the last several presidential elections. This country needs a change ..yesterday... Let's get this countrty moving again

I will definitely vote. But I feel my vote will be wasted. The Electoral College has already made up its mind and it has nothing to do with what the people want. I feel, as in past presidential election years, that there isn't anyone I really want for president that has a ghost of a chance of being elected. I'd like to see Huckabee on the ballot. Aside from his pardoning questionable convicts, he has a good record as governor and seems to have some moral fiber. He appears to be able to stand his ground on issues like the porous border, the economy and and entitlement issues. And I'm very, very, anti-abortion although I realize you can't legislate morality so that makes that issue pretty moot with regards to my voting. I would like, within my lifetime, to see a real statesman run and win the presidency--someone who really and truly wants to improve the country, who doesn't lust after the power and the residual financial gains that come with being the president. Someone with a handle on his/her sexuality that can rise above the level of an animal. Someone who's actually balanced a household budget and managed to save a little. Well, I can dream, can't I? I think there should be spending limit of $100K on presidential campaigns. Even that is too much. Then maybe some normal people could run that have good ideas to improve this country and know how to implement them.

I ususally side with the Republicans and this year should be no different. On the Democratic side, I believe Hilary is far too liberal to guide and run this nation. Obama seems all right, and would be my choice on the Democratic side. On the Republican side, either John McCain or Mike Huckabee would be fine with me. Huckabee would be my preference, but it doesn't look like he can make up enough ground to topple McCain. Fact is whoever wins the Republican Nomination is probably who I will vote for. If a Democrat happens to win it ,then I hope it isn't Hilary.

I always vote conservative (even though I consider myself moderate) as I'm concerned with keeping terrorism in check, the borders more secure, taxes lower and therefor believe a national government run health plan will be disaster, tho I not so much would like to see roe vs wade reversed (even if that only puts it back in the hands of the states) but am for much more humane birth control from our well advanced society so there are less pre-born terminated and thus also less disastrous karma for the country.. - Conservative americans are not all that enthused about their choices either and are figuring soon all political choices will be "liberal" or "not quite as liberal" which is the result of so much media leaning the one way and in control of what the people see int print, etc.. ..blessings:)!

I beleive it's a sad state of affairs that put us, as voters who believe voting is part of our civic duty (and right), into a position where we either don't vote or end up voting for the 'least of the worst'. It says something about the people we choose long before it comes to a presidential vote. Those people who throw their hat into the ring as well as those people who help put them there should be scrutinized long before they ever reach the senate or congress. That might seem way off base, but it speaks to how I feel about politicians who get so far off what our country was based on and where it is headed, all due to personal agendas and lack of understanding. Our deciding factors shouldn't be based on whether or not we vote democrat or replublican or any other sector. It should be based on who we believe is best suited for the job. That decision of course has to be looked at (this day and age) from an historical prospective as well as a current one, along with decisions about where our country is headed and why. We are living in a very important time (I think). For the first time ever, we are faced with the possibilities of voting in a woman as our 'Commander in Chief' along with a Black man whom the world views as a Muslim. These are both issues that voters need to see and analyze. On the other side, we have men who look like they might have a spiritual based belief. That's something else we as voters must look at. Our country was based on certain pricipals. Politicians have used those pricipals, promised superior leadership because of those principals and in some cases, strayed so far away from those principals, some Americans have forgotton them altogether. The possibility of loosing those pricipals altogether is a frightening thing I personally don't want to see happen, but am afraid we are headed toward such events. We should take our voting rights and duties as seriously as they truly are. We should examine the past, current situations and future of our country as seriously in an effort to hopefully vote for the person who best fits our hopes and dreams as a nation. Another responsibility, after the fact, is supporting whomever is voted into office. Even if we dont' agree or don't like the person who wins the popular vote, our responsibility remains. We should support our President either way instead of bashing all of the time. OUR duty is clear - if we are strong enough to see it through. I hope you decide to vote ctrymuziklvr.

erm.. i'm pro democrat too.. i think democratic is more to open decision.. but.. the bad thing about it is that there's no proper leader in a democratic system.. you won't know whether the peoples are really voting for a dedicated leader.. or is it because that leader will provide them something good when he's in position.. so.. it's rather confusing.. if we get a proper leader as republican.. i think things would end up better.. but if you see the situation in indonesia.. it end up worse.. it's more to dictator.. and .. i'm sure no one prefer such system.. so.. in the end.. i stick to democrat =)

Well im a libertarian but im voting republican, I'm voting for Ron Paul and i hope he makes it. Hes the only canadite that i like this time. If he doesnt get it i dont want to but i might vote mccain, but im hoping it doesnt come down to that and Ron Paul makes it. I dont like either of the demecrat canadites
