I wouldn't vote actually <_<;;

I'm still debating on if I do vote, who I will vote for <_< I'm a democrat, but at the same time, I don't believe in some of the views Obama has, and on the other hand, I will never vote for McCain >_>;

If only I could vote.....*sigh*
I'd rather vote for Obama that McCain.....but Obama just seems so young.....I don't know how well he could handle the country.......I really wish that there were a few more dominant parties.

At first I voted Obama, but on second thought, I'd rather not vote at all. None of the candidates seem particularly appealing, and the only reason I can think of to vote would be to keep McCain out of office.

Well despite the fact i live in australia i ahve kept up a fair bit with the us election

I voted for obama because i belive another 4 years of a republican in america would be suicidal.. and obama is the only logical choice.... (sorry if this offends anyone)

And in the US electoral system it would be stupid voting for anyone either than the majors is stupid...(well i belive so)

Im suprised at the amount of people who would chose not to vote... How could you let someone else decide who your leader will be..

Oh dear, this is going to be so bias.. since we are targeting one particular community. Imagine if they had this poll in the "Evangelist Forum"

McCain. I've already expressed my views in other threads. No need to regurgitate them here.

George W. Bush has done ONE great thing for this country. He's made sure there won't be another Republican in the White House for quite a while.

Hmm-I'll be a year too young unfortunately, but I think I'd either
vote Obama (Democrat) or McKinney (Green).

Hmmm... perhaps a bit biased considering most of us are for gay marriage? That's one of the main reasons I'd vote for Obama.
