Do you consider yourself to be a pro-your candidate supporter or an anti-other candidates voter?  2004 certainly had one of the highest anti votes ever, not sure about this year.

Well, I am an "Anti-Obama" voter too

I have a feeling the GOP pro-voters and Dem anti-voters are switching places this election.

This time around I'm not sure what kind of voter I am. I know I don't want Obama president and I would be happy with McCain as president. Had Huckabee or Clinton had been the nominee, I would have been either anti-Huckabee or anti-Clinton.

In 2004 I was 100% anti-Kerry.

In 2000 I was more pro- G.W.Bush than anti-Gore though I had strong feelings for both.

Pro-Obama, although I'm not too crazy about the "choice" in this "poll".  Obama's definitely not a perfect candidate, and I'm VERY anti-McCain, but given the options, I'm more Pro-Obama than Anti-McCain overall.

At this point I'm not either. I can be content with either Obama or McCain. However, part of me hopes Obama wins just so Hillary can't run again in 2012.

My vote will probably go to Barr just to help ensure that the LP keeps its "major" party status in Georgia so we can keep easy ballot access.

Anti-both Obama/McCain. Am voting Barr since I really don't want to help validate the fantasies of the Obama cultists.

I'm usually anti-Liberal in all elections, but that doesn't dictate how I end up voting.

More the above than anything else. He's just too left wing economically for me. I am more comfortable now with his foreign policy given all the trimmings.

Both, since I don't really like Obama all that much, and I also like McCain.

What foreign policy? A photo-op around the world doesn't equal foreign policy expertise.

I used to be 100% pro-McCain.  Now I think I've slipped to being more anti-Obama.

Pro-Obama.  Mainly because I would directly benefit from a Democrat in the White House.

Pro-Obama.

I don't like McCain but my dislike of him hasn't nearly reached "Bush-level".

I have to say, too, that being a "anti" candidate seldom, if ever, works.

Not that I'm a voter but in 2008, I'm fervently pro-Obama

He's moderated some of his positions. I don't think Obama's currently enunciated views are much different than McCain's at this point. That is hardly surprising. The U.S.'s realistic options out there beyond our shores are really very limited.  There are constraints just all over the place.

The old Obama was just jiving to round up the usual suspects in order to dispatch Hillary. I never really believed he really believed it. The man is not a dumbo, and not really a perfervid ideologue. He's a political entrepreneur.

Would like to be a pro-somebody...undecided still for reasons one would be anti-either of them.
