I'm pretty much disappointed with the remaining choice of canidiates in the election. The only one remaining that i can live with is Obama. If it comes down to McAmnesty/Billiary (the nightmares i have about these two) i may not even bother voting. Anyone else feel the same way?

I will not vote for Obama, Hillary, or McAmnesty. However, I will write in a candidate unless an independent comes along whom I could vote for-although that appears unlikely. I am unsure who I will write-in but I feel it is necessary to still vote if for nothng more than to show my utter disgust with the three remaining candidates.

I thought I might ask for a write in ballot and write in Huckabee's name. We need a decent person for president.

Don't know yet. They ALL scare me as well! All for differing reasons. I call them the Three Stooges, and a travesty we couldn't cull more qualified candidates.

Yes I will vote. I have never missed a vote from the time I was old enough to do so. It's my duty as a patriotic citizen to do so.

Same here, except this will be my first time voting (I'll be legal age when it comes.).

I swear if Obama wins, I will walk out on the street and kill a random person.

Same for Hillary.

By the way, I do not like McCain nor would I vote for him. Just so people know it's not him either.

I'd have a hard time wanting to vote if it comes down to Hillary Versus McCain, but I'd bite the bullet and vote for Hillary, while I find her campaign distasteful, I'd rather have her in the White House than McCain.

I have voted for the lesser of the two evils many times. I wonder why we do that when there is a write-in choice. Unfortunately that write-in choice does not happen until the main election. I would like to see an election when people would have the courage to ask for a write-in ballot and write in the name of someone they really want for president. I think that would change America for the better, not change it like Obama wants to. We need fewer, not more taxes.

I worked hard for any money I have, why does Obama and Hillary think I should give it to people who didn't work for it. They need to change their thinking.

You heard it hear first, folks - any random acts of violence in November should be blamed on an 18-19 year old who answers to Haaziq. Sheesh, I hope that is rhetorical and not serious...
