If Cain won the primary I will vote for him.If Romney wins then I will vote for a 3rd party candidate,If my state screws 3rd parties again then I will simply just not vote for president. I will just simply vote on the ballot issues and other elections.
 
Obama, no doubt in my mind.
 
Generic Republican... unless its Newt Gingrich than I will vote for Third Party Candidate or not at all.
 
I need to hear Obama and Romney debate the issues at least once before I could say. But if anyone other than Romney wins I will be voting for Obama.
 
The GOP most likely. That said, I split my local votes with Republicans and Democrats.
 
So far, only Republican I would consider would be Romney. I want to hear how conservative he is on social issues. Too conservative and he loses my vote.
 
Probably the GOP. Mainly because I detest Obama. I would prefer Romney or Gingrich to win the nomination.
 
Maybe I'll write in a vote for Dennis Kucinich. I certainly won't vote for any Republican or Democrat who is running for office. Not even a maybe.
 
It is absurd that Obama is still considered to be a viable candidate. I can't imagine anyone else in this country who could increase the deficit to over a trillion dollars and have zero growth to show for it. He's like the idiot who files for bankruptcy a couple years after winning the lottery because he was so incredibly inept at handling his finances that he managed to waste all that money and have nothing to show for it.

Then we get into Obama's lawlessness. He laundered over $500 million in taxpayer funds through Solyndra to one of his biggest financial donors. He stole Chrysler from it's American owners and debt holders and fire-sold it to Italy to keep his union voters happy. Despite a congressional law forbidding US lobbying for abortion overseas, Obama's administration spent millions in tax dollars to ensure that Kenya's new constitution supports abortion. His justice department funneled weapons to Mexican drug lords which were used to kill our border agents. His justice department dropped the voter intimidation case against the black panthers, but sued pro-lifers for standing too close to the clinic.

He is a racist, a lawbreaker, and his incompetence has stalled an economic recovery for three years now. He has more gaffes than Bachmann, Perry and Cain combined. He has embarrassed himself and our country in front of almost every world leader he has met and he has done great harm to some of our longest standing international relationships.

He is managing to stay on Bush's schedule for bringing our troops home, but at the same time has invaded Libya and Uganda, solidifying our role as the world's police.

I'm sorry, I can't see why anyone would vote for him. And with all do respect to some of my fellow conservatives here, you would have to be absolutely stupid to stay home next november given the choice between Obama and ANY GOP candidate running from Romney to Johnson to Paul To Gingrich. I would vote for half the Democrats out there over Barack Obama. It pains me to say, but I would vote for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama. I disagree with her 100%, but at least she displays the slightest bit of competence.
 
First choice......Obama
Second choice.......Obama
Third choice..............Obama
 
can more people vote on this thanks? Thanks

If the election were today, I would write in Capt'n Courtesy. As usual, no one running is worthy of the office. Non of them should be elected.
 
Generic republican, it'd be GOP.

Depending on a specific republican, it would be 3rd party.

I'd likely stay home before voting for Obama.
 
I'm a Green, but I'd vote for Ron Paul. The GOP will not allow him to run so he would be running as an independent, so irregardless, I would be voting third party. I would never vote GOP because I consider that a vote for the Military/Industrial/Corporate Complex and the radical 1%. Maybe radical .1%, eh?

That's actually interesting. A while back at my other blog I wrote that Ron Paul could have success running as a third party candidate if he targeted traditionally blue states like New England states, California, New York, etc. The reason is because of people like you who are green party but like Ron Paul. I'm betting you'll vote for Obama in the end if there is no third party, right?

Yes. I'd swallow the turd and vote for Obama. To me, the Republicans represent all that is wrong with the USA. Just look at the recent example GWSoupForBrains. Lies, torture, war, economic catastrophe, but the rich profited handsomely from his administration. We, the public, are broke. We lead the charge in maintaining the mirage that the current "fiat" money is faithful stuff. It's the same value as a blessing from the Pope or Ayottollah Kameini (sp). Worthless.
 
Probably either Obama or Romney.

So what did you think of Obama laundering $535 million through Solyndra to one of his biggest campaign financiers? What did you think of Obama bailing out all those corporations, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, so that they could give their CEOs and union bosses million dollar bonuses?

I wouldn't have bailed any of them out. I'm an environmentalist and wouldn't have favored the Solyndra deal. It's just that he is 50 times more honest than a generic Republican, think GWSnotForBrains, Darth Cheney, etc. We have a den of thieves inside the Beltway and a good flush would do that toilet some good, but Republicans would plug it up.

Seriously? He laundered $535 million in taxpayer dollars to one of his top supporters through Solyndra. How do you get more dishonest than that?
 
Gary Johnson - I'm projecting, of course.

or Vergil Goode - another projection.

Screw the Democratic and Republican Party (sorry if that offends). They've held this country in their sway for countless years and have messed it all up. We just go back and forth - back and forth between the two. Obviously they've proven their selves incapable of getting the job done or changing anything. In fact - the longer they're in the worse off we are. It's November and they haven't figured out the budget YET.

But likely it'll be Ron Paul - he's the only third party who has a good chance at winning because he's always involved in debates and doesn't get the cold shoulder - has a relatively large support base in consideration.

I don't feel I have to continue to be part of the problem when I vote - If more people felt like I did maybe we could actually make a strong difference in how this country functions.
