I'm just glad I don't live in Florida.

If I did, I wouldn't know how to answer the OP.

Default Are you going to even vote in this election?

I vote in every election involving federal offices.

I did not realize for years how important the local elections were until I went to some political meetings. The National Election is a reflection of what is going on back home. Where do you think those super delegates are coming from. I personally think the superdelegates are in a position to save the Democratic Party. If they let Obama win, the party is destroyed, because if he gets into the White House people are going to see exactly who he is. It won't be pretty and they won't like it.

The idea of the primaries and general election is to know who you are going to have in office before they get in office. Bush is exactly who we thought he would be in office, so was Clinton before him. I don't think that trend will buck anytime soon. We will know exactly what to expect from whichever candidate we put in office.

Bush ran on a much different platform in 2000. No nation building like Clinton did. An humble foreign policy (yeah, right.) Reducing the federal government, and lowering taxes and spending. He also managed to neglect Social Security for 7 years. I don't believe a word out of their mouths.

Obama says he wants to end the war, but he continues to vote to fund it. If we don't stop spending our great-grandkids' money, there will be no country to bring our troops home to.

Only if Obama wins the nomination, otherwise I won't even bother. Though I will support McCain...

I will vote and it will be for Obama, if I had to I guess if it were between Hillary & McCain it would have to be McCain, I have no use for Hillary nor anything she stands for.

Right, both presidents ran on no nation building, and both have kept their promise.. Neither one have built this nation into anything worth bragging about.
