Even before he had a chance to demonstrate his policies. Even before you knew how bad Romney is.

What could possibly bring you to unconditionally oppose this man? :confused:

I knew who Obama was before Obama made the primary in 2008, I knew his policies, I knew what he stood for, and I knew I could never support him. It was pretty clear, and is why I don't respect undecided voters at all. It's pretty easy for anyone of reasonable intelligence to choose who to vote for, that some people take a long time only demonstrates a mental deficiency.

After Obama won, I knew he would run again in 2012. Given the 2-party system there's only one person left I have the option to vote for: whoever opposes Obama automatically had my vote, regardless of who that turned out to be.
 
I'm too young to vote, but as soon as Obama got sworn in, i was ready for election time, now I'm hyped.

Romney just made me laugh more at him,
 
icouldn't vote... there was no acceptable option ofr me( and many others)

my answer is ... nope, the debates didn't change my vote..... I never intended to vote for Obama or Romney, and that didn't change at all.

Get ready for all the trolls to start telling you that somehow you no longer have a right to complain about anything...
 
I just wish all the people who choose not to vote, would pick a 3rd party candidate at random.

You feel like your vote means nothing, but in reality, it means something to us 3rd party folks, and it definitely means something to the 1st party candidates that you loathe and despise already......

Yeah, I have never understood that mindset of wanting your President to fail. I voted for Stain so the debates had no effect on me. But I certainly hope Obama beats Romney. That said, if Romney wins, I hope he will surprise me and do such a good job that I will vote to re-elect him in 2016. I highly doubt that would happen, but whoever wins, I want them to succeed in the job.

I agree. This whole wretched notion that our incumbent is any worse than the last few presidents is nonsense - especially when you don't even give him a shot.

And kudos for giving Stein your vote. Great candidate. I still can't get over the Civilian Conservation Corps, we really need something like that.

Yes.

The shortcomings of the candidates of both the Democratic and Republican parties in the debates have convinced me to vote for Jill Stein for President of the United States.

My guy doesn't get invited to debate, so no, the debates don't really influence me either way.

Damn!!! They won't help Gary Johnson help sell more books on his way to 1% or less of the Popular Vote... now we should start a rEVOLution by giving millions of dollars to go no where candidates to help line their pockets and then buy their books!

The PBS funding should be increased by ten-fold in order to stop them from begging every three months.
Even then, their shows are far better (educationally) than mainstream TV.
Just recently, a series on The Cuban Missile Crisis....and another on Global warming....and one on the right wing and all their money...campaign finance reform...
They are "fair and balanced" , and, IMO, right...

Hello? If PBS had any merit it could stand on its own without Government Funding.

I felt the very same way in the last election. I didn't vote for Obama, but once he was in I prayed he would do a good job. I prayed that he would be open and honest and that he would would be a great president and I would be proven wrong. It didnt happen. I am very disappointed with Obama. I don't like or trust him at all. He actually makes me sick.

I fear that it will be a very close election.
Not only must I vote for Obama, but I must influence others.....ha...
I feel that we do have a greater chance for peace and prosperity with President Obama.
Romney will make things better only for the wealthy, the very wealthy, and the super wealthy, at the expense of the poor.

I could not disagree with you more. Romney's plan will improve the economy, which is better for everyone. Obama will likely let some Arab country bomb us again, while hoping that the tax revenue he plans to get from the rich makes up for his outrageous spending habits.
