    Obama! Please!

    I really like him. Not so convinced on Hillary. A mate of mine living in NYS says she's not fulfilled on promises, and from here it looks like she's the apathy vote.

    It's why I honestly think people who don't have an opinion shouldn't vote. People who're famous win on apathy voting, which is why America has a governator - because everyone had heard of him, and hadn't heard of the others. They didn't look into his politics skills. His skills lie in lifting heavy things, and pretending to be a robot. Which is easy, I should point out.

    I registered with no party affiliation, so I can't vote in the primary :-\

    I'm from Iowa, and since we're special and have already gone, I wouldn't be able to vote tomorrow even if I was 18.

    I hope Obama wins....I just don't think Hilary is the right choice.

    Agh, im not 18 until may:frowning2: but i would definitely be voting for Obama, although i dont have many qualms with Hilary either. I guess at this point I am really just impartial to either since I cannot change who will get the primary. All I know is that I will be voting democrat in november no matter which candidate is chosen :wink:

    Although I'm not old enough to vote, I feel the need to mention two VERY IMPORTANT things.

    In some states, you actually can vote. Everyone should check whether their state's primaries/caucuses are open or closed (or somewhere in between). Open means anyone can vote, regardless of party affiliation. Closed means only the particular party that the primary pertains to can vote. Some states have it where the party and independents can vote, or some such arrangement. So, before you throw all hope out the window, check and see!!

    For you specifically, oct877, CA has one of those modified systems. Meaning, since you are unaffiliated, you can vote in the primaries (assuming both parties allow it, I'm not sure if they both do, but one must since it's listed as California's status). So go out and vote (maybe even twice!)

    The second thing I wanted to say pertains to this: you CAN VOTE (at least, most places)! Generally, if you will be 18 BY THE TIME OF THE GENERAL ELECTION, you can vote in the primaries!

    So, if you can vote and will be 18 by the general election, then go out and vote!! For those of us who can't :frowning2:

    I had just checked earlier today, I can vote for the Democratic primary, but not for the republican. The candidate I'm choosing for this election is on the republican side, and I cannot vote for him, so I am choosing to sit this primary out. Rest assured I will be voting in November.

    Hilary hasn't fulfilled promises to her electorate? Um, that's wrong. That friend has no idea what he's talking about.

    And everyone needs to vote, even if it's for someone they're not too sure of. Also, Arnold has about a 75% job approval rating of republicans in California, so does it matter that he was a govenator?
