If you're a Democrat, do you plan on voting for a Republican anywhere on the ballot (President, Congress, Governor, State Legislature, etc) and vice versa.

If you are a Democrat-leaning Independent, do you plan on voting for Republicans and vice versa.

As for me, option 1 applies.  I am a Democrat, but I will probably vote for my Incumbent Republican Congresswoman Mary Fallin (OK-5).  I really like her and what she stands for.  I don't alwas agree with her politically, but I do like what she stands for.

I'm sure there will be at least one democrat I'll be voting for in November.

well, living in Germany, I'm only eligible to vote for federal offices, as I have no permanent residence in the U.S. currently.

Obviously, I'll vote for Obama and Durbin.

Not quite sure what I'll do in IL-12. I really don't like Costello, but his opponent, Richardson, is certainly not any better. I think I might vote Green instead.

No. There will be no Republicans running for anything below senator in my precinct, and I'm not into the Socialist Workers' Party.

No. There's no way in hell I'd vote for McCain or Coleman, and even if I would consider voting for a Republican for State or US House, it wouldn't matter because all the GOP candidates in this area are complete jokes.

Sam Reed is a good man. Unless there's a pretty good Democrat, I'll support him.

If Ogonowski is out, it looks like I'll be voting McCain-Kerry-Capuano.  What an awkward mix.

There are no Republicans to vote for around here. The only possibility would be if the GOP miraculously came up with someone worth voting for to run against Lautenberg, but that won't happen.

I might vote for Tony Peraica (R-Riverside) for Cook County State's Attorney.

Other than this I'll prob vote Green for POTUS, U.S. Senate and U.S. House.

I'll vote straight ticket Democrat in 2008, just like I did in 2006.

After the 2004 election, I promised I wouldn't vote for another Republican for the forseeable future.

I don't think I've ever voted straight party and don't intend on starting now.

Yes, for President of the United States.  Otherwise I will be voting Democratic, particularly in this year's Senate race.

Eh, I may vote for Mike McCaul (my representative). The Democrat is kind of an idiot and I have no idea why we nominated him and McCaul (or his office, I suppose) have been very helpful in the past.

Otherwise straight Dem.

I cannot vote, however, I plan on supporting numerous Democrats nationwide.  The reason would be conservative Dem vs. liberal GOP, or simply a horrendous GOP.  For example, I will support Mark Warner and will definetly not support a plethora of GOP reps

Is Jeff Beatty out of the question?

I won't rule Beatty out entirely, and will be paying serious attention to whether or not he seems capable of serving in the U.S. Senate.  But at the current moment, I'd probably vote for Kerry unless there's an especially attractive third party option (someone like Jill Stein, for example).

It'll be straight ticket Obama/Warner/Nye for me. We're having city elections in November as well, but they're nonpartisan.

I may vote against Lungren (CA-03).  I'll be voting for McCain, though, and I'll definitely vote for any Republican in the state legislature.  Imagining the Dems with a 2/3 majority is frightening.
