I personally have no idea yet and I know this is kind of a personal question, but I'm sure those who don't want to answer, won't. :) "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Else I'll use a write in vote and vote on my cat,but seriously maybe reincarnate our original founding fathers and vote them in perhaps? Nobody is nobody. Everyone has something to offer |

Well... Here in Germany I have a very good idea whom to vote. But if I had the right to vote in the USA, I had no idea: the people I think I'd vote for are either too unknown and/or have too little influence, or are known but have bad reputation because they are seen to be too extremely left-wing :) Account frozen... |

I personally have no idea yet and I know this is kind of a personal question, but I'm sure those who don't want to answer, won't. I assume you mean 'for President of the USA'... Well, its not going to be for whichever candidates the Republicans or the Democrats nominate. I will let you guys know when the field of candidates from other parties becomes a bit more clear as we get closer to Nov. '08. But it is likely to be either a Libertarian or (more recently) a US Constitution Party candidate. After all, starting with the 1980 election, I have voted for one of the two in every election except 1980 (Reagan, because I liked what he had to say) and 1996 (Dole, under the 'anybody but Clinton' philosophy... Dole had the best chance of unseating him). |

I personally have no idea yet and I know this is kind of a personal question, but I'm sure those who don't want to answer, won't. I'll bite. At this point I am leaning toward Clinton for the Democrats and Huckabee for the Republicans. Clinton because she'd the devil I know and I like the idea of Bill being the first Laddie. Huckabee because any Republican that can rock out like he does can't be all bad. Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |

In the State of Nevada we have a counted vote of "None of the Above." I use it. The problem is that in our State's constitution there is nothing about what happens if "None of the Above" wins.... Account frozen... |

I know I'm as stupid as a foreigner ever can be, but I don't see any significant difference between the current Republicans and the current Democrats. Is there none, or is it just because some Democrats act as if they were Republicans and some Republicans as if they were Democrats? Account frozen... |

I am voting for The leader of the Monster Raving Loony Party as an official, but minority, UK political party. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

In Germany we have 47 officially admitted parties, even a party named "Partei der Nichtwähler" (party of the non-voters) I think that's also just a fun party like the APPD and others. Account frozen... |

Is there none, or is it just because some Democrats act as if they were Republicans and some Republicans as if they were Democrats? The major difference between Democrats and Republicans is that they spell the name of their party differently. Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |

Is there none, or is it just because some Democrats act as if they were Republicans and some Republicans as if they were Democrats? Which is why I've been advocating a viable third party (moderate) for years. But the two ruling parties have the system stacked in their favor. Account frozen... |

Is there none, or is it just because some Democrats act as if they were Republicans and some Republicans as if they were Democrats? I'm not sure a moderate party would work. Can you imagine the chaos created by having that many rational, thinking, open minded people in one place at the same time? I think the cosmos would implode. Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |

A third party will never work with the current voting system of one vote one person. You need a multi-voting system to get a third party going like first, second, and third choose voting.
