How Do you vote?

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

Just curious.  I think most of us here are probably not fence voters.

Edit: Republican

[WalterMitty]

roughly speaking...about 60% republican, 40% democrat.  but that was in north carolina.  here in ma i may vote a little more heavily republican, since the republicans here arent crazy.

[Rob]

I vote Democratic unless I have a compelling reason not to... which happens fairly often considering the wretched state of the party. My non-Democratic votes go to silly third parties, though, not the GOP (Packwood is the last Republican I would have voted for).

I know he isn't running again, but Romney is crazy.

[So the Heroes Fall]

I have never voted for anyone in my life who was not under the DFL ticket, and I will do the same in November.

This is how I will vote in November:

Governor/Lt. Goveror - Mike Hatch/Judi Dutcher (DFL)
Senator - Amy Klobuchar (DFL)
U.S. House - Tim Walz (DFL)
Attorney General - Steve Kelley (DFL)
Secretary of State - Mark Ritchie (DFL)
Auditor - Rebecca Otto (DFL)
State Senate (District 23) - Kathy Sheran (DFL)
State House (District 23B) - Kathy Bryneart (DFL)

what does DFL stand for?

no, not really.

he isnt crazy like the southern religious republicans.  you know...the prayer in school, tack the ten commandments on the wall type.

[Frodo]

I usually vote Democratic nowadays, though I have voted Republican in the past, and would most certainly do so in the future if presented with candidates I could support.

If Romney were running for re-election, would you vote for him?  I know you really don't like him but it would prevent Democrats from having complete control of the state.

[Harry]

I've voted for 1 Democrats and 2 Republicans in my lifetime.  Come November it'll be 2 Dems and 3 Republicans.

OMG DINO!!!11!!1@!

[Joe Republic]

Fence voter, since I always judge candidates individually on many factors.  Their party affiliation is right down the bottom of that list.  That said, I'm not too keen on one party being in control for too long, so sometimes a candidate's party does have an influence on my vote.  But not really a huge one.

Also, I wouldn't really vote third party unless they had a chance of winning, and thus I have never done it so far.  I would have voted for Perot in 1992, though.

[bullmoose88]

Republican with very few exceptions on the state/local level. (voted casey for treas [mistake] and a democrat [eagles court judge] for superior court)

GOP for US house

Senate: Generally Republican may even vote for santorum this time (or LP)

Governor (Will split this, GOP 02, Eddie in 06)

President...well we all know that one...leaning GOP in 08

[DownWithTheLeft]

In New Jersey, I'll be voting almost all Republican.  Hopefully I'll live somewhere someday where voting Democratic can cause ANYTHING positive.

I feel your pain

[nclib]

Democrat.

If Romney were running for re-election, would you vote for him?  I know you really don't like him but it would prevent Democrats from having complete control of the state.

it depends on the democrat nominee.

if the nominee were patrick or gabrieli, id vote for romney.  if riley was the nominee id vote for him over romney

I usually vote GOP.

Would you have voted for Frank Murkowski if he somehow won the primary?

Hmmm. Interesting question. You know.... I'm really not sure. Even with Palin running, I don't know who to vote for. Maybe there'll be a Libertarian candidate in the race.

[Speed of Sound]

I will vote socialist when its possible, Dem most of the time otherwise.

Unless I move to Canada, in which case it will be 100% NDP.

Democratic probably 90% of the time.  And closer to 100% at the federal level.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Republican.  Because ethics and integrity matter.
I refuse to vote for Tennessee's Corruptocrats.
